Care2[edit]

I don't believe this breaks the threshold for notability per WP:WEB. The sources and links given are self-referential except for one review of a photo-sharing service provided by the site. WP:WEB says sources must be multiple and non-trivial. RJASE1 ^Talk 23:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the criteria may not be applicable here, or for similar services. If the number of participants can be confirmed, I think this is sufficient for notability. Time we recognized reality about web services in general. DGG 09:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - they quote nearly 7 million members. This makes it notable. Some independent references should be added Peter Campbell 12:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Notable enough as they are the group behind several popular internet "activist" sites, but needs independent sources. Dragomiloff 23:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A number of Google News references for the group. Also, despite WP:BIGNUMBER, which I agree with in principle, 7 million is a large enough number to confer notability. If all else fails (although I don't think this is the case here), WP:IAR should cover this: the inclusion of an organisation with a membership of 7 million is certainly beneficial to the building of an encyclopedia. I will try to improve the article with independent references by the close of the AFD, but can make no promises (as the close-date is in 14 hours). If closed as keep, I will still try to improve it with sources. -- Black Falcon 09:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
