contested prod: "Glorified webring instead of prof standards org--despite their claims of 9000+ members, and the text below saying member have to link to it, Alexa only finds 1100 incoming links. Ghits indicate membership shrinking"; fails WP:ORG - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 20:55, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Luksuh 21:54, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: fails to meet the WP:CORP criteria. -- The Anome (talk) 22:51, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. The main failing of the article is the lack of coverage by independent sources. I didn't turn any with a Google search. If they've been written up in, say, the Guardian, then I'll reconsider. —C.Fred (talk) 23:33, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. It's been mentioned, though not "written up" by the more common UK Web Design Association in the Guardian [1]. A weak case could be made under WP:CORP#Non-commercial organizations, based on a few mentions in secondary media which all seem to connote some authority to UKWDA: [2] and [3] – Zedla (talk) 04:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and move to UK Web Design Association. Appears notable enough to me. See [4] (page 16 - as mentioned by Zedla) [5] [6]. --Edcolins (talk) 11:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - the sources are all of the most tangential, mentioning this organization only in passing. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
