Self-promotion of margnially notable Web site mhking (talk) 18:53, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd be happy to make changes you suggest to the article to satisfy genuine concerns, but I think you need to get past the idea knowthyneighbor.org is not note worthy. That criteria as others have now pointed out is satisfied.Salemmaman (talk) 21:45, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep--self-promotional, poorly written, sure. But the topic is notable, as a number of hits found using this search suggest. The Boston Globe especially, followed by the Chicago Tribune, have published extensively on the organization and their questionable methods. Drmies (talk) 19:06, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep; The references seem amply reliable and notability is both asserted and present. Accounting4Taste:talk 19:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Notability asserted and sourcing introduced, more clean-up and expanding would be nice. -- Banjeboi 01:11, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, they appear notable if they are a political pressure group. CaribDigita (talk) 03:04, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, have expanded the article to include controversial reports in notable publications, so that it's not just a self-serving article. Also suggested cleanup (see discussion page). Esowteric (talk) 11:01, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Have cleaned up article a bit more and sorted notes and references. Esowteric (talk) 12:28, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
