Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless

Delete per WP:NCORP. There's nothing particularly notable about what they do that stands out and make them globally noteworthy. It is run of the mill in a sense that organizations that provides xx services for yy demographics in zz area are highly common. Article has a long history of promotional publicity editing as well.

 * Keep - "make them globally noteworthy"? I don't believe that's a requirement here.  The fact that they were established by the District of Columbia Bar, and is overseen by a board of governors, in order to provide the pro bono services for the homeless, does make them noteworthy. — Maile  (talk) 18:52, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * No, per WP:INHERITORG, companies and organizations are not notable simply because it is associated with notable/big/prominent person/group for the purpose of articles. Notability is evaluated by significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sourcesWP:ORGIND and WP:ORGDEPTH with adequate readership WP:AUD Graywalls (talk) 20:11, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:ORG. WaPo has dozens of articles over decades which taken together encompass a SIRS source. Here's a PhD dissertation with secondary coverage of statements, positions and effects (or lack thereof) . Here's a trade pub with some coverage as well . WP:AUD is satisfied by either of the first two sources. &mdash;siro&chi;o 19:17, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
 * In this case, many of those articles are serving as local reporting and I believe it doesn't meet the intent of WP:AUD. Similar examples: A local law clinic in Seattle called Northwest Justice Project has tens of articles on Seattletimes.com just as a point of reference. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Northwest+Justice+Project%22+site%3Aseattletimes.com Another example of local law clinic called Inner City Law Center in Los Angeles has lots of articles in Los Angeles Times https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Inner+City+Law+Center%22+site%3Alatimes.com Graywalls (talk) 20:05, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting, I'd like to see an assessment of newly found sources. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 02:58, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
 * You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but your comments above are starting to leak a little. By your thinking above, location of the source might indicate prejudice in favor of, or against, or promoting of, any subject. — Maile (talk) 22:45, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I purposely chose examples of similar organizations that provide similar services, in major cities. I intentionally compared against something similar so they're as relevant as possible. Graywalls (talk) 23:16, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep - this seems like a similar case to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Public_Counsel. References such as from Georgetown Law and https://wamu.org/story/17/05/03/d-c-s-widely-used-program-move-homeless-families-housing-failing-says-advocacy-group/ indicate the subject meets notability standards for inclusion. - Indefensible (talk) 17:36, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
