Since its creation, this article has never had secondary, reliable, independent sources. I do not believe this local charity passes WP:ORGCRITE. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:32, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

• comment The group is well-known in the DC area, and the article's sourcing problems are easily overcome. That said, it is local to DC, and I don't know that one would find much coverage from outside the area. Mangoe (talk) 19:55, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
• Keep It may be local to DC, but fortunately DC has a highly notable, reliable source newspaper. A quick search of just the Washington Post website pulls up a wealth of articles. Some mention it in passing, but there are also in depth articles that include detailed information about the facilities and services that this organization provides. I only linked to two articles to avoid refbombing, but there are plenty more just in the Washington Post. I would suggest that it is highly likely that other sources will have additional information.

  • So during my WP:BEFORE search I found numerous articles like those you posted but they seem to focus primarily on the subject they are helping making it more of a human interest story than an article about the charity. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 11:49, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
• Keep: Secondary, reliable, independent sources exist. No one has been bold enough to add them yet. ~ Quacks Like a Duck (talk) 13:58, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
• Keep: Covered in reliable news websites passes WP:GNG. Namkongville (talk) 15:59, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
• Keep as has significant coverage in reliable sources so there is no need for deletion in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:18, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
  • @Quackslikeaduck, Atlantic306, and Namkongville: As a non-DC citizen, it was of my view the sources on this chartiy were not in-depth enough and too local to pass WP:ORGCRITE. I am willing to withdraw this nom but can ya'll provide some in-depth coverage? The ones I found during my WP:BEFORE search all seem to be human interest stories with like a passing mention of the charity. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:37, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
• Keep it does not fail WP:GNG, has independent sources. Idunnox3 (talk) 01:52, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
