Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because the organization passes WP:NORG by being profiled in multiple reliable sources. In the current draft two sources are cited - a short organization profile and an academic paper. To help with an assessment, here are some citations for other reliable sources:

Valente, Judy (28 August 2015). "Environmental Justice in Mossville". Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly. PBS. Retrieved 2 December 2016.

Martin, David S. (26 February 2010). "Toxic towns: People of Mossville 'are like an experiment' - CNN.com". CNN. Retrieved 2 December 2016.

I acknowledge that these sources talk more about the work of this organization than the organization itself, and that the entire articles are stories of a problem, a response to the problem, and the participants in the situation, but we have some high profile publications talking about this organization.

Can this be sent to WP:AfD if it needs further evaluation? Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:15, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
