[edit] C.A.L.M.
No evidence of notability, promotional. Delete. - Mike Rosoft 15:16, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- "Sir! Advertisment on the horizon!" "Damn these adverts attacking the shores of Wikipedia! Open fire!" "Sir, torpedoes have no effect!" "Blast! Open the main bays! We'll have to send out the special weapon! Fire the Delete vote!" Sorry for the sarcasm, but I really think Wikipedia could do without these adverts eveywhere.
Merely info about an all volunteer, free clinic. Not an advertisement at all. Keep. - bstone 03:43, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- C.A.L.M. is a non-commercial, volunteer-run, free health care clinic which operates and functions in order to provide 100% free health care to those in need. It functions at the annual Rainbow Gatherings in the summers, also a non-commercial event. It could not be further from an advertisement. Please go to [1] CALM to check out CALM for yourself
- I never said it was a commercial adverisement. (I called it a promotional and said that it didn't establish notability.) But Wikipedia is not a place to promote any organizations, whether commercial or not. - Mike Rosoft 21:57, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- You seemingly know nothing about Rainbow Gatherings. By definition, they (the people who attend) are non-members of the largest non-organization in the world. (Stone)

- I'm still laughing at the first delete comment. I have to agree, too. Delete. Linuxbeak 22:36, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Merge with Rainbow Gathering or keep, assuming they are the main health care providers at a notable event like RGs. Kappa 22:51, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- KEEP. Despite what others have said, these guys are pretty notable. They're crosslinked by a lot of alternate healing web sites, and have been written up in serious newspapers maybe a half-dozen times. It doesn't make sense to merge them with Rainbow Gathering because they do operate away from the annual gathering. I do suspect that they're simply another name for the collective that runs the Rainbow Gathering, but that bunch doesn't have an article to merge with. ---Isaac R 23:24, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Merge with Rainbow Gathering unless someone adds information on the group outside of that context, in which case, keep. Jonathunder 01:09, 2005 Apr 23 (UTC)
- Delete. According to the Declaration of W.A.L.L.A. (Wikipedians against Largely Lame Advertisements) this must not be left standing! Death! Death I say! ...yes I am being sarcastic... Master Thief Garrett 07:28, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Merge with Rainbow Gathering, as per Jonathunder. FreplySpang (talk) 18:36, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Merge per the above. Radiant_* 10:38, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
