Need to Read Book Club

Non-notable local kids reading club. The club gets 13 Google results (something is really odd with the Google results...it's showing 55,000 results, but only 13 when all are displayed) and Yahoo gives 26. Was deprodded but it doesn't seem to have any notability outside of Spartanburg. Metros232 02:51, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Just has one chapter right now. I got the weird Google results too... what is up with that? --Allen 03:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as failing WP:NN. - Thorne N. Melcher 05:09, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no evidence that subject meets WP:ORG due to lack of verifiability or reliable third-party mentions. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It has ambitions: The club will start new clubs in Spartanburg and around the state of South Carolina in 2006. The long term goal is to have club chapters throughout the United States. Regardless of whether these ambitions are achieved, the club is likely to be copied in other communities. As well, the following indepedent sites mention the club:

I may one day become Prime Minister, discover the nature of Dark Energy or be the world's richest person. Until that day comes, I don't deserve an article. And neither does this group WilyD 13:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete local group whose charity functions earn about $2500. Great idea and I wish them well, but too minor for an encyclopedia entry at this point. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:18, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• KEEP.My daughter had me submit this to Wikipedia to help her gain some momemtum with her club. I know nothing about this Encyclopedia, but she uses it a lot. I quess we were wrong to try to list it with you. People can find us on the web, so it might not be needed. However I am not real pleased with the delete reponses. They seem kind of petty and judgemental. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.189.184.190 (talk • contribs)
  • Comment Well that's not a good reason to have an article on something. To help "gaim some momemtum" translates to "to advertise" which isn't what an encyclopedia is for. Metros232 17:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Advertise a reading club that contributes books to underprivledge Kids? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.189.184.190 (talk • contribs)
• Delete per above. Good luck with the club though. -- stubblyhead | ^T/_c 19:40, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep How many chapters of this club need to be active for it to be considered 'big enough for Wikipedia?' The Need to Read Book Club has partnered with Barnes and Noble Booksellers and also the Boys and Girls Club, both reputable and national organizations. This fall, clubs will be started in Boys and Girls Clubs in South Carolina as well as more school clubs. Also, the Need to Read Book Club is a project of the National Heritage Foundation that has a four-star charitable rating according to Charitable Navigator - the best rating that can be given. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by NeedtoReadBookClub (talk • contribs) .
• Delete as the article does not assert notability as of now. Provide citations for coverage in multiple non-trivial publications, and you might have an article.--Aguerriero (talk) 22:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: could not find articles quoted in external links. If anyone can provide links to the articles in the external links section, I'll change to Keep, as it shows outsiders thought club was notable. Stephen B Streater 15:15, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I agree with Truthbringer Toronto (Neostinker 18:33, 14 August 2006 (UTC))
