Stopping the hate

How very sad for all of you that this is how you spend your days and nights, hating on the LGBT Community. I would gladly delete this article and express my sincere apologies to the Stopping The Hate Organization for ever creating it. They obviously are fighting people just like you every day. Very sad indeed.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
Delete per lack of verifiability and soapboxing. MuZemike (talk) 19:50, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

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)[reply]
