[edit] Military Families Against the War

Delete. Non notable organization. Advertising. Zeimusu | (Talk page) 23:36, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Rewrite - this is a valid topic. Dunc|☺ 14:59, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment The present article is useless, unencyclopedic, and does not describe the organization whose website is at http://www.mfaw.org.uk . With 8000 Google hits for the exact phrase, with random samples suggesting that almost all are relevant, I think the organization is probably notable enough for an article. However, the present article is not a useful start. Keep if someone puts in a decent stub prior to expiration of VfD, otherwise Delete and make this a Requested article. This is not a vote. I intend to make an explicit vote prior to expiration of VfD. Dpbsmith (talk) 16:37, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This is a copy of a poorly written press release and to me could even be a candidate for speedy delete under the criteria "Any article which consists only of attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title."--Alabamaboy 16:43, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) After reading a rewrite of the article, I have changed my vote to Keep. --Alabamaboy 20:13, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think you're right about that. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:02, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: MFAW are a notable group in the UK. I am going to attempt a rewrite. Kel-nage 19:21, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - I've done a minor rewrite, there's still plenty to be added, but I've done what I could. Could previous delete voters please reconsider their votes? Kel-nage 20:00, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the rewrite, thanks Kel-nage. Kappa 21:20, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - Changing my vote in my nomination (also signing) Zeimusu | (Talk page)
• Keep. Revolución 23:47, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, after rewrite. Falphin 00:54, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep in present form, thanks Kel-nage. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:42, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non notable organization...--GrandCru 08:08, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Clear keep. Poorly-written articles on notable entities go to cleanup, not vfd. The current version is decent enough anyway. Jgm 29 June 2005 04:41 (UTC)
• Keep Badly need a rewrite/fix but the subject should hold some value --C64 29 June 2005 13:02 (UTC)
