Spam ?

This article was created by an editor whose user name clearly identifies them as being of the AAFA. I pondered submitting this for WP:AfD as a vanity/spam, but the organisation does exist and seems to have a reasonable long history, so...

Is this group notable (other than their own website claims) ?
- If not then the article should be nominanted for deletion. (Being English I will not have encountered them however notable)
- Otherwise this article needs other editors to possibly rephrase from an external independant point of view.
Are they as influential on either american asthmatics (protocols, advice, support, research) or US healthcare policy as claimed ? David Ruben ^Talk 01:43, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a few edits to the tone, but the AAFA web site is currently down, making it difficult to check the information they claim about themselves with what is available elsewhere.

http://www.healthfinder.gov/orgs/HR0187.htm -- AAFA information on USGOV healthfinder site

http://www.aaaai.org/patients/lay_organizations.stm -- AAFA listing on AAAI site, listings of lay organixations.

This organization seems notable enough to merit an article, but I share your concerns about the fact that it was created by someone affiliated with AAFA. In addition, this artilce only has one reference so far on Wikipedia... way too few.--M4701 12:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This org seems to check out. My wife has asthma and has donatd small $$ to this group in the past. She is in an asthma support group here in Chicago and said they often refer to this group as a credible and reliable source of info. In the U.S., the govt. keeps a pretty tight rope around nonprofits. I went online and found that they indeed are a IRS 501(c)3 organization (about 50 years old) and pretty well regarded. Hope this is helpful. :-) Aboutsellular 21:24, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
