• comment real organization that is notable enough to warrant an article, but not as written. 12.22.157.3 18:28, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep--Vfd is not cleanup, and even if it were, this article is not terrible. A little stubby, but not spammish, especially after Ril's expansion. Meelar (talk) 21:03, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Needs a rewrite, but seems like a notable organization. --Howcheng 22:48, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup - organization is notable. -Satori 21:06, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - Not original research. I created this entry before I was hired from publicly available sources -- only the latest update is while I've been working here. The Using Sources section of the NOR guideline makes it clear that provided my info is publically available (which it is), then my input as an employee is valid. Here're a couple recent articles from mainstream, published media which reference Democracy Corps' work: Washington Post, August 10, 2005 St. Louis Post Dispatch, August 13, 2005. Feel free to rewrite, but I tried for the most neutral POV I could. There's no praise in the article, just a little background for someone who wants to know more about an organiztion that gets a decent amount of coverage, particularly online. Based on the press, I'd say it's not a vanity entry, either. [ [-Piro 15:44, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Poking around, I've found on-line references to polls conducted by them. David Henderson 05:15, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
