[edit] Young Muslims
This article does not appear to even assert notability (I'm not tagging for speedy deletion as previous versions may have asserted notability). No third party sources at all. A Google search didn't reveal any independent sources (However, I can't conclude that there aren't any, as "Young Muslims" isn't a sufficiently specific search term :) ) Has been tagged with {{notability}} and {{primary sources}} since April.

- Delete Not notable. Also includes Trivia which is not meant to be on wikipedia Ijanderson977 (talk) 17:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Weak keepAdded two references found via Google News Archive [1] which discuss "Young Muslims of North America" which is a more specific search term than merely "young Muslims." Still, not very extensive coverage for a national youth religious organization. The article is promotional in its point of view and relies mostly on the organization's own websites. There was criticism of the group, but on websites I could not confirm as meeting Wikipedia reliable source standards. Edison (talk) 18:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Assuming that "Young Muslims of North America" is the same organization as "Young Muslims", the foregoing links do not establish notability. None of the links had the group being the subject of the coverage. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 23:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- CommentWP:N does not require that the subject be the "only" or "primary" subject of an article, just that it receives "substantial coverage" which is the case here. Still, this is two independent reliable sources with substantial coverage, which barely satisfies "multiple." Edison (talk) 06:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[
- Young Muslims is a legitimate organization - the youth wing of ICNA (www.icna.org). It hosts its own website (www.ymsite.com), and hosts the annual Youth Conference for young Muslims across the United States parallel to ICNA's annual convention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.187.34.55 (talk) 04:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
