Unsure about notability (does WP:NONPROFIT apply?), sources are shaky (only few mention the project at all). bender235 (talk) 21:59, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: No indication of notability and with all the external links within the article, it seems like a website. BurtAlert (talk) 22:55, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to strike my delete vote (for lack of a better term) due to laziness on my part and apologize for any biting. In light of the new sources, this is definitely a keep. BurtAlert (talk) 22:11, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Which one is the "valid group" with the "long history"? Project No One Leaves or Harvard Legal Aid Bureau? If it's only the latter, we should think about a merge. --bender235 (talk) 14:20, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Both are valid groups. Project No One Leaves is independent from the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau, as it involves chapters throughout Boston and the country. It was founded by Bureau members, however, and refers many cases to the Bureau. — Saalevine (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment - A quick reminder here to all not to bite the newcomers... This article seems to have been created in good faith and should, in fact, clear the notability bar. It's a bit of a mess in terms of style, which is not surprising given that it seems to be a first effort by the editor. I'll work on it. Carrite (talk) 19:26, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - For additional evidence of notability, see the following article in a scholarly journal: Nicholas Hartigan, "No One Leaves: Community Mobilization as a Response to the Foreclosure Crisis in Massachusetts," Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review, vol. 45, pp. 181-204.
Comment - Full rewrite completed, will the AfD nominator please have a look at it and offer additional comments. Carrite (talk) 22:57, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a student run volunteer group that has had success at finding ways to keep "at risk" homeowners in their homes. — Lissyu (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 01:54, 31 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]
