Article is cited entirely by the organization's own records. No indication that it has received significant coverage in reliable sources. Hirolovesswords (talk) 03:44, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator (at least for now) – given that the article is being actively edited and there are secondary sources that cover the organization in GB (although I am not sure if there is enough detail in those sources to be considered WP:SIGCOV), I am withdrawing the nomination, with the possibility of re-nominating if the notability issues are not significantly addressed. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 23:02, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. It is true that as written, the article fails WP:GNG and WP:COMPANY (NGO). However, a search through Google Books suggests that there exists significant coverage in independent, reliable media; GB reports 300+ results for "La Alianza Hispana" boston, and while I saw only passing mentions, they seem substantial enough to suggest the topic is notable. I recommend keeping, but tagging with various required copyediting templates, from underlinked/dead end to self-published source and such. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:41, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This article is being actively developed as part of a class assignment -- I just added the notice to the talk page (the student had forgotten to add the notice.) Since I'm the ambassador for the course, I will also note that some other students in the class will help with peer review, as will I later in the semester, and your comments on needing additional outside sources are well-taken. This org does have substantial coverage in independent media, we just need to work to get the article to fully represent that. Any other suggestions for improvement are welcome and appreciated! It's great for the students to see your feedback. AmandaRR123 (talk) 21:22, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
