Article tagged under CSD A7 - hangon added by editor, however I would most probably have sent this article to AfD for wider discussion in any case. Here posted for further comments from the community. --VS ^talk 11:43, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Vastly fails all notability standards on any test that is applicable. Note to admin: please also delete the picture. Yanksox (talk) 14:24, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
• Delete No indication that this organization (or its website, www.stoppingthehate.com) is covered by independent sources or that it is notable. WP:POV and WP:SOAPBOX are on point for this article. I love the irony in bragging that Stopping the Hate "wrote scathing columns on John McCain and Sarah Palin" and that "There wasn't one nice thing said about either of the latter for 5 months..."

• Oh, yeah. That is funny. It's stuff like that which makes hardcore libs no better than the hardcore conservatives (dare I abbreviate as "cons") :-) MuZemike (talk) 19:54, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Dont Delete: This organization is valid. They have been doing great work for the LGBT Community. It sounds to me like the other two wanting it deleted have a problem with the LGBT Community. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.82.9.75 (talk) 19:18, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, and because it is lacking info from a reliable source we can verify.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 19:29, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per lack of verifiability and soapboxing. MuZemike (talk) 19:50, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per lack of sourcing and notability. The IP comment is ironic indeed; what's that I hear? An organisation promoting equal rights accusing people of intolerance to get their message across? Ironholds (talk) 19:58, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I wrote to the organization and told them about the Wikipedia article their response was as follows. "Thank you for writing to us. We feel Wikipedia does what they do best and we do what we do best. We do not feel the need to be validated by Wikipedia so if they choose to remove us, it won't deter us from our work with the LGBT Community. We are not here for praise, we are here to help our community and nothing more. Sincerely Meghan Chavalier Founder Stopping The Hate." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.82.9.75 (talk • contribs) 00:53, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:SOAPBOX Tavix (talk) 06:00, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
• Note — above IP blocked for 1 year for persistent edit warring/vandalism. MuZemike (talk) 13:01, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

In that case, is it time to consider WP:SNOW?   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

You mean "Stopping the debate"? Probably so. 19:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
