All 501c3s are notable!Hemanetwork (talk) 04:49, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not so sure about that; besides, read what WP:CSD#G11 is, it has nothing to do with notability. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 05:04, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete heavily promotion, entirely non-notable. Gigs (talk) 05:44, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
deletion? This page is the victim of a silly move[1] it really "is" the HEMA redirect. Just delete the edits since 14 October[2] if you think that's necessary. --dab (𒁳) 06:27, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm sure that not all 501(c)(3) organizations are notable. There are over one million of them. See [3]. They can't all be notable. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:51, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I can find no evidence that this is a real non-profit. It's not in any of the databases. Gigs (talk) 16:52, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - There's often a long delay for organizations that don't fall squarely into the middle of the obvious categories (e.g., something that isn't obviously a school, soup kitchen, etc.). Most databases don't list a group until some months after they file their first informational returns, which means that a delay of ~18 months is common. But, yes, we would ideally have a proper {{third-party}} source for that fact. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:29, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There are no independent sources in the heavily promotional article, and I cannot find any evidence of notability (news and book searching for "HEMA" seems to find only false hits). Johnuniq (talk) 23:41, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
if it really is an organization that is lobbying on helaf of prostitues strippers naked house cleaners etc it is truly uniqueChuspameinlibya (talk) 00:37, 27 November 2010 (UTC) — Chuspameinlibya (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Delete Tiny non-profit organizations are rarely able to produce the sort of in-depth WP:Independent sources that are required by WP:ORG. If they get some attention later, the article can be un-deleted. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:18, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as it stands. If proper referencing can be found, I'll willingly change. It probably isn't unique, as there have been or are unions of workers in the erotic business in quite a few countries (so far as I recall). I wish them luck, anyway. Peridon (talk) 23:42, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The only independent source provided so far is a link to a web traffic site that indicates how rarely viewed this organization's web site is. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:14, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
