Vinyard Indian Settlement

I am not convinced that this particular unrecognized tribe meets, for Wikipedia purposes the definition of notability. A Google search does not meet GNG. Google Scholar reveals three newspaper articles (one of which is the SIU student newspaper) that incidentally mention the settlement. The newspaper articles I could find tend to cover the one-off controversy of their efforts at state recognition. Mpen320 (talk) 02:37, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. This organization has been in the news through the years. They are a notable organization. I'll add more sources. Yuchitown (talk) 15:42, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown
 * Comment. Thank you for the edits. It's a much better article. I am now lukewarm on deleting vs my prior warm.--Mpen320 (talk) 23:50, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: I’ll take it. They are definitely low priority, but they do keep popping up in the news and are still invited to present publicly even after being denied state recognition. Yuchitown (talk) 05:19, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown


 * Weak Keep per WP:HEY. The sources added, and improvements made, by Yuchitown are just enough to cross the notability threshold, IMO. Sal2100 (talk) 17:58, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
