I previously speedily deleted this per WP:A7, but since it has been restored following a request for undeletion and subsequent restoration, I am nominating this article for deletion. After searching for anything that would help make this article pass WP:GNG, I came up short (nothing in the media regarding this "movement"). Eagles 24/7 (C) 01:08, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - I did the restoration to give the requestor a chance to come up with some references, but this is pretty much the outcome I expected. LadyofShalott 01:10, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Lack of coverage in third party sources means this fails WP:GNG. Mtking (talk) 01:13, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - unable to locate sources sufficient to pass notability concerns. jsfouche ☽☾Talk 02:33, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete although it sounds like a great idea, it still needs to be documented in other outlets first. BigJim707 (talk) 04:26, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - the name is very generic which means that there's a lot of Ghits that have nothing to do with this. Sifting through the results does not result in any indication that there is coverage in reliable sources (yet), so it fails WP:GNG. --bonadea contributions talk 08:48, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I'm Not Sad Today was trademarked recently and, if you google it, their tumblr and facebook are the first things to pop up. It has helped many people and though the resources may not be considered reliable it is clearly notable if you look through the amount of people who know of it. Not all of them are from Tumblr, they have their facebook fans as well, and celebrities have tweeted about them (such as Dominic Barnes from Glee). Really it is a great cause and has helped many who have gone through rough times, I believe there is no reason that this page should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.9.16.161 (talk) 07:49, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Notability is something of a jargon term here on Wikipedia. There are some pretty specific criteria used to determine it. A lot of celebrities tweeting about the page is an indication of growing notice, but it is not WP:Notability. Has this been written up and published in any newspapers or magazines? Has someone in the world of psychology noted it and discussed its possible effects in a journal article? These are the sorts of things we look for to determine if something should have an article here. Being a worthy cause is not sufficient. LadyofShalott 12:21, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:N. Sorry, but Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause. JohnCD (talk) 09:16, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
