HonestReporting

FAILS WP:N CdC—Chuleta de Chancho (talk) 00:54, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It is one of the two most notable pro-Israel media watchdog groups -- the other being CAMERA. It has made the news on numerous occasions, for example in the New York Times ([1]), The Independent ([2]), Yediot Aharonot ([3]), and the Jerusalem Post ([4]). The organization is apparently notable enough to have generated a number of critic websites ([5][6]). It is also mentioned by the pro-Palestinian magazine Electronic Intifada on more than one occasion ([7][8][9]). In short, HonestReporting definitely does meet the guidelines for notability (esp. compared to some wiki topics; e.g.: this). ← Michael Safyan^(talk) 02:18, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Many press references. What's the problem? Nom lacks details. --John Nagle (talk) 05:22, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep of course, per Michael and John Nagle, there are many refs in and out of the article.John Z (talk) 10:14, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Substantial coverage by independent sources, passes WP:ORG and WP:N. Apart from the sources cited above, here is a newsarticle specifically about this organization [10]. Nsk92 (talk) 13:39, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand with more sources --Banime (talk) 14:57, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't like Honest Reporting; but I don't like The Sun either, and would never see that as a criterion for deleting the article. RolandR (talk) 18:58, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but on a related note Honest_Reporting_Canada should be merged into the main HonestReporting article as two articles dealing with two branches of what is basically the same organization is overkill. --John Bahrain (talk) 19:10, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep reaosnably notable, no reason not to cover. -- Y not? 00:20, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
