I was on the edge with nominating for G11 - article is very promotional in tone and would require a rewrite to tone it down. This seems to be chalk full of issues with the sourcing as well as a general question of "is it notable?" -- Dane2007 ^talk 18:34, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my friend here's my two cents:

I was adopted through Graham Windham. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Graham Windham. To put it short, let them be "promotional" in tone. I mean, how could they not be? Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?- George Naranjo — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.8.211.188 (talk) 05:32, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - notability is met for this charity, the oldest nonprofit, non-sectarian child welfare agency in the USA.[1][2][3][4] The "multiple issues tag" is sufficient. AfD is not cleanup. —Мандичка^YO 😜 11:50, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per Мандичка. The New York Observer goes into detail of its long history and multiple other sources published over the years go into detail too. [5][6][7]--Oakshade (talk) 04:37, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are sufficient reliable third-party sources to establish notability. The article also relies on the organization's website for substantial additional information, but it's noncontroversial factual information – that does not destroy or detract from the subject's notability. Some editing for tone or NPOV is warranted, but certainly not deletion. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 18:46, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
