Northern Indian Medical and Dental Association of Canada.[edit]

Not notable (however well-intentioned) organization. According to the article only 300 members, and only 150 currently active. Displayed google hits are limited to 4 websites, including theirs. Niteowlneils 01:31, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • "Only" 300 members is obviously notable. Keep. --Centauri 03:04, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • If we're allowing any and all organizations which have 300 members, most Usenet groups and Internet message boards would be included. This is not an acceptable level of inclusiveness. Delete. RickK 05:22, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)
This is a registered non-profit organisation, not a message board.--Centauri 23:25, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Agree with RickK. JoaoRicardo 06:31, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I was actually going to vote to keep it - I do NOT agree with RickK's point of view. However then I noticed the use of first person in the article, which gives the impression that it's a self-promotion piece. If any newsworthiness can be found for the organization, 300 members or two, then I'd be willing to change my voice to keep with a cleanup/make NPOV provisio. 23skidoo 06:58, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, just not noteworthy enough. The extra period (full stop) at the end is a nice touch... another Clerks./Adaptation. ? -- Curps 07:49, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as likely promo, advert as well as non-notable. We'd be setting a dangerous precedent to say a group with 300 members is inherently notable: the clan I belong to in Kingdom of Loathing has something like 10 times more members, and they sure as hell aren't encyclopedic either. Little trade orgs and clubs come and go like fireflies, and really don't belong in an encyclopedia unless they make news somehow. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:53, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Agree with Starblind's reasoning fully: delete. Stombs 13:46, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, promotional, unencyclopedic. Wyss 21:52, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable, possible advertisement. Megan1967 02:40, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a channel for promotion of associations. utcursch 08:40, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Seems noteworthy professional organization. Ollieplatt 07:08, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, as above. Axl 18:31, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
