[edit] Not Yet New York
- Delete Not notable per WP:ORG - short lived organization. Contested prod. Strothra (talk) 16:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per above. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 00:32, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - I'm the one who contested the prod, mainly on procedure, but I'm starting to favor actually keeping. There is a somewhat sizeable amount of media coverage in regards to Not Yet New York. I think it could meet the lower echelons of notability with that. It has had coverage in secondary sources. Moreover, it says the longevity MAY be considered in WP:ORG. I think the meaning of WP:ORG is different than you are alleging. So far as I can tell, the organization was not that short lived and seems to have been around and active in Los Angeles for several years. I believe that WP:ORG, when in regards to length, is referring to organizations that are around for a matter of months only, and this organization has much more longevity than that. matt91486 (talk) 16:42, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- I just wanted to dig up some links here, I didn't save them when I contested the prod for some unfortunate reason.
-I found online the two sources not linked to by the page author, for one, to prove their verifiability (the third is already linked to on the page): [1], [2] -[3] This is a Google books result that alleges that Not Yet New York had an impact on the urbanization process in Los Angeles. -[4] Another Google books result; this one that puts their activism in some context. -Other assorted mentions in substantial works can be found [5], [6], [7], -Additionally, this bibliography here says includes Not Yet New York in its annotation for an article by Dick Russell in the Amicus Journal. I don't have access to that journal at school or online, but it would be another source should anyone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt91486 (talk • contribs) 16:57, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Very impressed with the research and links provided above, which certainly carry the organisation into notibility, a lot of which could be used to aid the articles expansion. Could be suited to a merge given the groups relatively short life line, although i am having difficulty finding a suitable partner. Either way the article should not be deleted. Carlyle 3
