[edit] 40 Days For Life

40 Days For Life (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Article about a local pro-life group, unsourced, no assertion of notability. Mr Senseless (talk) 21:11, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Fails WP:SOAPBOX; cites no secondary sources. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 21:34, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Article is about a national pro-life group who is being mentioned in news coverage (Sacramento Bee, The Guardian) and has up coming protests. Though it does stand to be expanded and could be better sourced. - Schrandit (talk) 21:46, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Unsourced shameless promotion. Beeblbrox (talk) 00:19, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Keep Has had press coverage in the The Guardian, AP, and Reuters [1]. This appears to be a large national organization, not a local organization. While there is significant coverage in mainstream publications, there is even more coverage in major religious publications such as The National Catholic Register [2] and Zenit [3].

  • Delete; that is not press coverage! It's an automatically-printed press release issued by the group itself. I don't see any third party reliable sources anywhere in this article. Tempshill (talk) 22:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Thanks for pointing that out. The Reuters article was a press release. However, there still exists third party coverage in The Guardian, Sacramento Bee, and a large volume of coverage in the religious media including the National Catholic Register, Zenit, and many other publications. I still think we should Keep this article. Dgf32 (talk) 02:38, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, and http://www.sacbee.com/city/story/452835.html looks perfectly fine. Hobit (talk) 02:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, the Bee definitely is a reliable and third-party source, and I can't imagine why the Catholic matter should be discounted simply because they're also pro-life. If all are counted, this fulfills the notability criteria of multiple reliable sources. Nyttend (talk) 19:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, covered in the Sacramento Bee, The Guardian, and the National Catholic Register. --Pixelface (talk) 08:23, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
