[edit] Russian american medical association

Per Zoe at User_talk:Borisvino, the article seems to be simply a copy-and-paste of the website directors list, with listings of all corporate officers and their emails as well, and has no particular explanation of what the association does. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 00:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

This version isn't the same as the one I was commenting on on the User's Talk page. User:Zoe|(talk) 00:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

After talking with the author of the article via email, I withdraw this nomination of AfD, and I'll try to bring it up to speed. I think the organization is an excellent one. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 04:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure why you intend to delete my article. I am confused. It only mentions the basic information about RAMA. Can you, please, help me to follow your rules so I can post. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Borisvino (talk • contribs)

• Comment Basically, the reason it seems to be up for deletion is because you make no claim of notability or even really describe anything about the organization. It seems that you copied and pasted information straight from the website. If you want your articles to remain on wikipedia, you need to take a look at WP:IA in order to ensure that your articles meet the minimum guidelines that have been agreed upon. Please also read WP:GUIDELINES. I think that this organization is notable, given the number of unique google hits and that it is a major organization for russian speaking physicians in the US. The article should be kept but cleaned up. will381796 03:05, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep—keep and expand. This is clearly a legitimate organization with laudable objectives. See page here and The American Medical Association's acknowledgement that this is credible organization with whom they cooperate. We need to be careful not to be to first world centric. Let's unprod this and mark it for improvement (there is enough material in google sources alone to make a credible article) and retain it. Williamborg (Bill) 04:27, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I tried to clean the artucle up. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 04:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

And a good start! This is what we should do! Thansk - Williamborg (Bill) 04:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
