I don't know how useful these will be, but it seems like this was a ground-breaking organization. It will no doubt be difficult to find on-line sources for an organization that was active primarily in the 1970s. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:03, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jonesey95, Thanks for sharing. You might be interested to participate in the ongoing AfD. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonesey95:, I'm not familiar with how the mention search counts it. In the wiki article, searching "Second Foundation" returns "9" hits in the web browser. I am wondering if the mention counting in the search you mentioned counts it similarly. I'm not convinced "counts" of mention correlates to notability. Even supposing that it only counted once per listed article, an organization that tends to make financial contribution to a well known organization that regularly publish a roster of donors have a tendency to appear by the name in the donor list. Lacking contextual clue, I can't say that "mention" really has any substance. Thank you. Graywalls (talk) 16:17, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

At the request of the creator, who has been serially spawning articles of this nature, I am posting on talk. See my other AfDs. Really no compelling reason to start a new argument. It's the same 'ol. The article does not assert notability, I don't think it's notable, therefore the preservationist should demonstrate at the minimum it passes both WP:GNG and WP:NORG Graywalls (talk) 18:09, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The point was to raise your concern before going to AfD. Since you've already nominated the article for deletion, we should keep discussion there and not here. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:31, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article makes the claim that In 1972, Second Foundation opened the Portland Gay Community Center (the city's first). Some sources say that it was the first such center in Oregon. That looks like a claim of notability to me. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:05, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
