Comment I'm relisting this because I'd like to see a bit more discussion of its notability before a decision is made. Bear in mind the idea that notability is not temporary. --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 21:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Here's another one. They're getting lots of briefer mentions in Google news archives.--chaser - t 22:39, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete. The standard at WP:ORG is "significant coverage in reliable, secondary independent sources." So far I count one such profile article; the mentions in the others are purely incidental (and there are only 4 of them). I think this one's on the margin, but tending towards non-notability.

Delete - partisan-funded short-term astroturfing front seeking publicity/promo through Wikipedia. The Exec Director of this suddenly formed "advocacy group" is the Oklahoma Regional Director for the conservative political campaign group "American Majority" [1]. Note that this is the first and only article created by Downsokc (talk · contribs) -- immediately upon registration. --HidariMigi (talk) 03:11, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
