[edit] Vegan Prisoners Support Group

Vegan Prisoners Support Group (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I'm all for animals and the like, but this organisation does not assert notability, nor can I find anything like a reliably sourced article written about the 'Vegan Prisoners Support Group'. Several sources mention it see[ here), but none are about it specifically. Thus, from my estimation, it fails WP:N - it does not have even one reliable source of which it is the sole subject.

  • Delete per an indicative lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. Change to Keep I guess this was just a case of American (i.e. my) blindess to the notability of a UK topic. Though recently, they've garnered no news coverage, an archives search pulls up plenty of significant coverage to indicate notability. VanTucky Talk 23:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The group is well known amongst UK vegans and has been used by the prison service to advise on disputes regarding prisoners' diets - I've added a ref for this.--Michig 00:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I am English, this is not a big noise in the UK. It's a single-issue pressure group active in a very restricted locus, and there are insufficient independent sources to establsih notability. Guy (Help!) 14:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm English too (and an omnivore), and have never heard of these people before, but just because two English people don't know about them it doesn't mean that they're not notable. Vantucky and Michig have provided sufficient references to establish notability. Phil Bridger 23:03, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
