This is essentially an article about a Facebook group. There is some notability (if the refs are anything to go by) but nothing beyond other, more successful, FB groups that do not have their own articles. Basically I don't really see the notability here but chose AfD over speedy due to the refs. I think we'd be setting a poor precedent and have there are arguably more notable FB groups that do not warrent their own article (such as this).raseaCtalk to me 20:28, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm really neutral about this one. An article about a Facebook group is a new one to me, but there appear to be legitimate sources in there (not all of them, though). Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:54, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I certainly don't think deleting is really appropriate, as this isn't just a Facebook group, but also a website, which has a large community of users. Not only that, but there have been several stories in London papers about the group & site's history and success. Surely the press that Secret London has received justifies its presence on Wikipedia?

- Keep sufficient evidence for importance. DGG ( talk ) 01:36, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This has received significant coverage in reliable sources. That it is a facebook group does not matter. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:06, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
