Notability

I've added references to two articles by Bay Windows, a source that most certainly counts as "third party" and not a primary source. This should go a long way to establish the notability of the article. Also, it is the leading South Asian queer organization in all of New England, a major region of the US.

MASALA (Massachusetts Area South Asian Lambda Association) → MASALA – Title–acronym repetition should be avoided per WP:TITLEFORMAT even if it is the official name, which it likely isn't. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 08:01, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose requesters proposal but support move to Massachusetts Area South Asian Lambda Association. Of the links on that page that actually work [1] Also celebrating Diwali is the Massachusetts Area South Asian Lambda Association, or MASALA, a Boston-based organization for Queer identifying South Asians. [2] Celebrating its 10th anniversary, MASALA (Massachusetts Area South Asian Lambda Association) announces the Satrang� M�la (Rainbow Festival) it is unclear what the official name of this organization is and I don't see the benefit of moving to a less clear title, one that is needlessly too similar to Masala. I also question the notability of this organization but that's another issue. Zarcadia (talk) 21:20, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be OK with that. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 20:22, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

move to Massachusetts Area South Asian Lambda Association It's more appropriate than an acronym that is not commonly understood.--Labattblueboy (talk) 03:48, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
