The result was No consensus. I find it impossible to reach consensus based on a nomination that does not actually state why the article is at AfD. the_undertow talk 22:50, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

- Comment Anjouli is absolutely correct, I was being lazy as I was so surprised to see such an article here when I would have thought that it would have been speedily deleted. We may as well have articles such as :- 'Sports Clubs' are clubs where people play sport!
- Comment Sports club exists (yes, I know - WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS). I don't think that last point is a great argument for this article being deleted anyway, as it's not simply saying "An older people's association is an association of older people" - if it was, it would have been speedied under CSD A3. — Matt Eason (Talk • Contribs) 14:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

- Comment - What specifically about the Google results says we should delete? Hit count alone is not a valid indicator of notability, per WP:GOOGLE. There may also be a bias given the article's subject. These groups are also known as elderly people's associations. — Matt Eason (Talk • Contribs) 12:34, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:RS and WP:V in its current form. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 14:13, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Per nom.
- Comment. All of the delete votes above (and the original nomination) are classic examples of Arguments to Avoid in Delete Discussions WP:AADD Anjouli (talk) 18:41, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Weak keep. There seems to be currency for this term especially in Bangladesh and Thailand, where they provide community services, apart from being a social network a la US "Senior Centers" and the like. Needs sources and context, desperately. --Dhartung | Talk 20:44, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Unreferenced and unverifiable in its current form, substub, dictionary material almost. If an article about this is to be written, this is not it.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 14:51, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
