[edit] NPOV

I added the POV tag because this is obviously just straight marketing from the organization(s) involved. I searched for this article after seeing one of the "If I Stay On The Rez" ads, because I was interested in seeing if there were any criticisms of the campaign or of the organization as a whole. Maybe they are just fine and dandy (except for misusing Wikipedia like this), but this is certainly not the kind of thing that should constitute an article. Jmacaulay 02:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I understand your concern. When I was originally doing some research on public service ad campaigns, I found an article all about famous non-profits and their historical PSA campaigns. Unfortunately there was no mention of the [American Indian College Fund], which is no different than the [Partnership for a Drug-Free America] or the [United Negro College Fund], both of which have Wikipedia entries. I can take off the ads if that makes it feel more legit, but it's part of their organization, just like "This is Your Brain on Drugs" would be for the PDFA. I'm working to add more information to the entry to beef it up. Hope that helps resolve your concerns. And believe me, the AICF is a good organization who is endorsed by many charity watchdog groups. --Gall420 00:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
