Laura's List: Books for Women[edit]

Procedural AfD as DGG and I see different sides of this and I respect his opinion. I declined an A7 since I thought it asserted notability. He tagged for spam but self-reverted when he saw I'd declined it. I don't find it to be overly spam but am willing to bring it here for discussion and consensus. Honestly, I'm not sure it passes WP:ORG as the attention it garners may only be local. However if there are enough sources, it could probably be salvaged, so I don't think it's hopeless. As it's 1:30 AM and I don't have the time or level of wakefulness to investigate, I'm neutral at this moment. StarM 06:25, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete To be honest, this is borderline A7/G11. Either would have been a perfectly valid speedy. It isn't notable, and it is far from neutral. Mayalld (talk) 08:11, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article doesn't say why the club is notable, and I can't find anything on it either. Themfromspace (talk) 08:42, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete on notability grounds. -- I agree with the nominator that the article implicitly asserts notability, but I don't think it goes on to demonstrate it. I understand why it wasn't speedied.--S Marshall ^Talk/_Cont 10:11, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Based on your comments, I will work on it today to make it more encyclopedic and to add more significance. Thank you. Kehancoc (talk) 13:06, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I will rewrite spam if i think the organization important enough; the deciding basis on which I thought it not appropriate was that they devote 10% of their revenue to nonprofit cause, and that 10% has so far been in toto: $4,000. This basically is, to quote the article, a book group to support "a new women's section of the bookstore in the small town" of Skaneateles, New York. DGG (talk) 22:58, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
