[edit] Young Judaea

Utterly non-notable organisation, article is a vanity project for the group, and is not referenced in any way. Páll ^{(Die pienk olifant)} 05:32, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Article is notable for its impact in the Jewish sphere, its sponsorship by Hadassah, its large membership base and its long history (indicating lasting impact and retention). Wes! • ^T_c 08:40, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but an article needs to be able to prove that these statements are true, which this does not. Páll ^{(Die pienk olifant)} 08:42, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

YOUNG JUDAEA is the largest Zionist youth movement in the USA, with thousands of participants attending camps and tours of Israel every year, as well as the largest single year-program in Israel for foreign students, with 3-400 participants each year... Young Judaea has 7000 members, running events and activities in 16 regions throughout the United States [1].

Read through that page and take another look at the validity of WP:NN in some of your nominations. While I agree that the NFTY regions can be deleted/merged, organizations such as USY or Young Judaea are extraordinarily notable. As a Reform Jew who has never participated in any of these organizations, I am well aware of their means and participations. That indicates notability throughout the Jewish world; there is no need for me to find a number of how many people therefore may be potentially interested in these organizations.

Okay, seriously. 252,000 Google hits can't be wrong. Additionally, the history here further implies notability. Any claim to these comprehensive examples of notability implies a bad faith nomination and perhaps this issue should be taken up at an appropriate mediation process.

• Keep. Seems notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 09:12, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Highly notable Jewish community organisation, and influences approximately 7000[2][3] youths' lives directly on a yearly basis. As a youth-based organisation, you will tend to have its members edititing its pages in a promotional way, but that is a fault of the nature of Wikipedia and not of the organisation's notability. jnothman ^talk 10:42, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems relevant of Wikipedia --Kristjan Wager 10:47, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I don't understand why suddenly so many Jewish topics are being nominated for deletion. This organization is clearly notable enough.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 12:50, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
