Wcquidditch, why is Enjoy the Arts not notable, and did you "look for sources yourself" before nominating the page for deletion, as required? A brief search on newspapers.com turned up scores of articles about the organization which was around for nearly 40 years. Examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (part 1; part 2). Meanwhile, the fact that the organization is now "defunct" (more accurately, it merged with another arts-based organization) is irrelevant, because notability is not temporary; if the organization was notable pre-merger, it is notable now. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:35, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, I am not the nominator (Pepperbeast is). I merely added this nomination to a deletion sorting list but have no actual opinion or comment. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 21:58, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, thanks for the clarification. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:31, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to lack of citations and orphaning as mentioned by @Pepperbeast. VERY WP:PUFFERY too. UnexpectedSmoreInquisition aka USI (talk) 14:08, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Article content does not determine notability". The fact that an article wants for cites or links is irrelevant, because Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article. ... [I]f the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:21, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't matter if there is no interest in the article and it gets orphaned. UnexpectedSmoreInquisition aka USI (talk) 19:06, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral due to WP:MOS not having an affect as I believed. I also believed orphaning affected status, which it doesn't. UnexpectedSmoreInquisition aka USI (talk) 12:11, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Source 2 in the list above is solid. 1 and 3 are trivial, but with them and the rest, we're ok for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 20:54, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
