Hello, I'm new to Wikipedia so I may be mistaken but it seems to me that this meets the notability guidelines. Certainly many other medical foundations can be found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Medical_and_health_foundations

These organizations seem to me to be very similar.

A very important consideration is that often the people seeking information about these foundations are looking for information about treatment options; in this case ready availability of information can make the difference between life and death. With respect to carcinoid cancer, and neuroendocrine cancer generally, there is a dearth of reliable information, so it seems like a good idea to make it available.

I don't suffer from this disease, but I know someone who does, and she speaks highly of the services that this nonprofit makes available.

Hope this helps,

  • First off, welcome to Wikipedia, User:Tillander! As far as the CSD tag, it was actually mistakenly removed. While the activities of the organization are admirable, notability for organizations is established through significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. While Jeff added a reference indicating that it was a third party source, it was actually a press release, which is a primary source and cannot be used to establish notability. The same applies to the references to the organization's website, as well as the www.centredaily.com website, which is another press release. The American Association for Cancer Research would be considered reliable. As far as the external links, there are a couple that need to be removed, per the guidelines at WP:ELNO. Social networking sites are inappropriate links. The other two external links are redundant, since a link is provided to the organization's website as a reference. So, at this point, the article is only supported through one reliable source. This does not equate to "significant coverage," and honestly, the article could be headed for deletion. What I recommend at this point, is a concerted effort to locate reliable sources to support the article. This would be the priority. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any more questions. Regards, Cindamuse (talk) 12:49, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Caring for Carcinoid Foundation. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
