*'''Delete''' The references just seem to be in passing. "Here's a story about a big event. Mr. such-and-such, from the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding says...", and thats it.

*'''Do Not Delete''' @ValarianB please see the above 5 quotes in which news media describe the organization before citing their research. This research institution has been conducting research for over 15 years. Like any other legitimate research institute, notable news media report on their research.

I believe the reason given in the removed PROD is valid: "No references except its own web site. No evidence of notability. Promotional posting." Doesn't seem to meet notability guidelines. 331dot (talk) 17:05, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot: The organization comports to standards of notability for organizations and companies as its research has been cited in reliable, independent, third-party sources:
"An independent source is a source that has no vested interest in a given Wikipedia topic and therefore is commonly expected to cover the topic from a disinterested perspective. Independent sources have editorial independence (advertisers do not dictate content) and no conflicts of interest (there is no potential for personal, financial, or political gain to be made from the existence of the publication)."
These sources include mainstream news media,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] which are considered "reliable sources", and thus comport to Wikipedia's standards of establishing notability beyond "trivial sources." Depth of coverage standards are also met as the organization has been referenced in "multiple independent sources." Finelinebilly (talk) 17:33, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've reviewed the sources given here and on the article talk page, and from what I see they tend to just name-drop this organization's name, or maybe quote a representative of it, without saying how this organization is notable as an organization. If they have conduced accepted research and/or studies, that's not clear from the sources I have seen. 331dot (talk) 17:38, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@331dot: Here are some select quotations from the independent, third party, reliable sources that cite the organization's research and studies:
"The Institute of Social Policy and Understanding, a research group that studies various aspects of Muslim American life, found that at least 128 anti-Sharia law or anti-foreign law bills have been introduced since 2011."(Buzzfeed News)
"Surveys by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding and the Pew Research Center suggest that the attitudes of United States Muslims about country and community are similar to those of adherents of other religions." (New York Times)
"As a result, according to one poll taken in January of 2016, Muslim support for Clinton is higher than among any other religious group measured. The poll, taken by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, a research group focusing on American Muslims, showed that 40 percent of Muslims supported Clinton, compared to 30 percent of Jews and 13 percent of Catholics and Protestants."Five Thirty Eight
"According to the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, a think tank that focuses on the American Muslim community, the number of Muslims registered to vote lags behind other faith traditions as well as the general population." (Chicago Tribune)
"The event — Islamophobia: Politics, Priorities and Prejudice in 2016 — was organized by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, a nonprofit founded in 2002 that conducts research aimed at empowering American Muslims to increase community involvement and participation in democracy in the United States." (Michigan Daily) Finelinebilly (talk) 18:07, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
