[edit] Notability
GLEN would be equivalent to the American NGO Human Rights Campaign, so I'm unsure why the notability tag was added. I've provided some basic references, including a link to a 2006 speech given by the Taoiseach (leader of the Irish government) that clearly notes the importance and status of the group. Notability really isn't an issue - it can be presumed - but the problem is getting good sources. I'll remove the notability tag and hope that other editors can help to find sources.

- It should be established *in* the article. Saying "I know it is" doesn't really help, as these things are hard to always infer. Anyways, the addition of references seems to alleviate it. Voice-of-All 17:56, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comment. It's always helpful to explain on an article's talkpage why a notabilty tag has been placed. In this case, no-one was offering original research or opinion; notability could be presumed as per WP policies (mentioned above). Information on the page - albeit unverified - indicated notability, so what was required was actually a good source list; a tag requesting such had already been added. Again, thanks for your comment and for prompting the addition of the overdue references. Conor (talk) 19:15, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
