Someone brought this to my attention following the deletion decision reached for the nearly identical ALSAP here. NN group/website, delete. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 23:45, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - It's the top Google listing for "NELSAP". It's a very active site. - DavidWBrooks 00:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, I only get 60 original results of about 87,800 on Google (although the numbers vary slightly on each search). Also, many of the results are for Nile Equatorial Lakes Investment Program. Finally, the article does not make any assertions of notability. -- Kjkolb 02:49, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above. Yanksox 03:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete in this form: It sounds like an interesting project, but that only means that it can be mentioned in another article. The organization is not well known enough to require explanation nor active enough to have generated top Google hits. Therefore, however laudable they may be, they're not encyclopedic on their own.

• Delete per Geogre.--SarekOfVulcan 07:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• • I have expanded the article slightly to give a better sense of the group's reach. I really think it is of sufficient size, reach and notability among ski fans and historians of New England to be an article; I have, among other things, seen it cited in newspaper articles (including once in the NY Times) as an authoritative source of the contraction of the Northeastern skiing industry over the past two decades. - DavidWBrooks 14:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
