Young Judaea
Utterly non-notable organisation, article is a vanity project for the group, and is not referenced in any way.  Páll  (Die pienk olifant) 05:32, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Article is notable for its impact in the Jewish sphere, its sponsorship by Hadassah, its large membership base and its long history (indicating lasting impact and retention). W e s! &#149; Tc 08:40, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, but an article needs to be able to prove that these statements are true, which this does not.  Páll  (Die pienk olifant) 08:42, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * YOUNG JUDAEA is the largest Zionist youth movement in the USA, with thousands of participants attending camps and tours of Israel every year, as well as the largest single year-program in Israel for foreign students, with 3-400 participants each year... Young Judaea has 7000 members, running events and activities in 16 regions throughout the United States.
 * Read through that page and take another look at the validity of WP:NN in some of your nominations. While I agree that the NFTY regions can be deleted/merged, organizations such as USY or Young Judaea are extraordinarily notable. As a Reform Jew who has never participated in any of these organizations, I am well aware of their means and participations. That indicates notability throughout the Jewish world; there is no need for me to find a number of how many people therefore may be potentially interested in these organizations.

 * Verifiability  Páll  (Die pienk olifant) 09:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, seriously. 252,000 Google hits can't be wrong. Additionally, the history here further implies notability. Any claim to these comprehensive examples of notability implies a bad faith nomination and perhaps this issue should be taken up at an appropriate mediation process.

 * Keep. Seems notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 09:12, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Highly notable Jewish community organisation, and influences approximately 7000 youths' lives directly on a yearly basis. As a youth-based organisation, you will tend to have its members edititing its pages in a promotional way, but that is a fault of the nature of Wikipedia and not of the organisation's notability. jnothman talk 10:42, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems relevant of Wikipedia --Kristjan Wager 10:47, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't understand why suddenly so many Jewish topics are being nominated for deletion. This organization is clearly notable enough.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 12:50, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
