• Comment - This is a regional event and organization held in Tucson, Arizona. Referenced are article from Tucson and Phoenix. This page is about Arizona's first and oldest LGBT organization approaching its 40th anniversary (making it one of the oldest in the nation) This move by John is anti LGBT harassment in its most blatant form in that this page has been under attack from day one first by C.Fred and now by John from Idegon. If this page is to be deleted due to
  ORG then all other Pride pages such as San Diego, San Francisco, New York and Orlando need to be deleted as well. Christopher Street West has now been contacted to observe the proceedings here as well.Robert Rowlkey (talk) 16:08, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

• Keep The organization/event does meet the standards for inclusion, as there are multiple
  reliable sources reporting on the event. My apologies for believing from his profile that John is homophobic (I have deleted the reference). I have created two pages on Wikipedia, both about LGBT organizations, both under threat of deletion. This article about an organization of historic significance is being threatened with deletion due to lack of relevance and yet a mall here in Tucson isn't. This makes zero sense. Thank you for your Keep vote.Robert Rowlkey (talk) 17:35, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

• Comment I will be happy to withdraw this nomination if someone, anyone, can show me a
  WP:RS source outside of Arizona that is discussing this organization. Talk is cheap. John from Idegon (talk) 22:55, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

• GNG, unlike all the NPEOPLE standards, which offer a lower level of notability than GNG. This is a necessary guideline, lest every local five and dime qualify for an article. John from Idegon (talk) 02:32, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

• I'm not sure what you're try to say but if you do a Google News search we do have enough coverage from reliable independent sources to meet any reasonable standard of GNG, including a photo essay from the national publication Advocate. As for this "local five and dime" thing, that's really just your personal sentiment. It's not policy and I remind you Wikipedia is

• WITHDRAW per
  Wikimandia. And Clpo13, no matter how much the little devil sitting on my shoulder wants to agree with you, you should probably give Gravedancing a read. John from Idegon (talk) 02:07, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply
