[edit] Notability concerns

I mean no offense to this particular charity, but what proof do we have that this organization is notable enough to be "encyclopedic"? Simply being a longrunning charity is not sufficient. Do we have references which confirm that the organization is famous, outside of its local area, per WP:CORP? --Elonka 18:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Quite frankly, I think being this long running makes this more than notable enough.

Even if it wasn't notable for duration, if you were writing "an Encyclopedia of Cleveland", you would certainly include this article, and Cleveland is certainly large enough to warrant decent local coverage by Wikipedia. WP:CORP is deeply flawed, which is why it's never gained consensus. Don't let proposed guidelines push you toward deleting good content, especially if it's already wikified and has sources and or references. Jimbo Wales says we should even tolerate trivial articles from good faith contributors, and this is clearly more than trivial. Unfocused 20:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Umm. What sources? Are you talking about the link to the Cleveland Hearing & Speech Center's webpage? If that's the only source, then I'd say that's not much of a source. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 03:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
