[edit] Equal Justice Works

Equal Justice Works (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Is this what they call a lobby group? Anyway there is an obvious COI in the authorship. Is the organisation notable? -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 01:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep: EJW is not a lobby group, and I would say they're notable: they have a partnership with Newsweek (website) and seem to be fairly well known. Justin Eiler (talk) 02:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Organizations-related deletion discussions. -- the wub "?!" 11:09, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete The article has not shown why the subject of this article is notable. Many of the references have no links and cannot be verified. All four references point to the organization's website. Just because it exists doesn't make it notable. Bardcom (talk) 18:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. There is absolutely no requirement for references to be online. Just because you need to let go of your mouse and go to a library to check them it doesn't mean that they can't be verified. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment True, but there is a requirement for notability which appears absent. Bardcom (talk) 16:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. How is it absent? Notability requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", which this subject has. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: links to several of the articles have been provided. the "references" do not point back to the website. the external links do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Access2justice4all (talk • contribs) 20:51, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Load more references in reliable sources at Google Books and Google News. Any COI issues can be dealt with by editing, not deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Needs some more work and references. Dwilso (talk) 23:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
