Contested deletion

[edit]

The AfD for this article was over a year old, since which there has been significantly more coverage of this organization, including the piece from PinkNews which is one of the cited sources. Futhermore, this is not a "repost" as it was not based on the deleted version of the article. --Iostn (talk) 17:25, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PinkNews is a good source here, but I would still see if any more sources can be found. Maybe a G4 tag is too harsh here but there's still not enough here imo. Jdcomix (talk) 17:31, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unless this is basically the same as the one that got deleted before, I think this should not be speedily deleted. I'm seeing hits in Google Books and Scholar. Some of them are just directory listings but there's more solid stuff too. I think this deserves a chance, or at the very least another chance at AfD. (Unless, as I said, this is just a repost of the deleted article. If that is the case then it is indeed a valid G4.) DanielRigal (talk) 19:06, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This organization is clearly notable and is regularly quoted in mainstream media including the BBC, the Guardian, The Independent, VICE, NBC News and other sources, in addition to sources specializing in LGBTIQ+ issues like PinkNews and Xtra Magazine. I also find 56 results in academic literature on Google Scholar. Even very transphobic tabloids like the Daily Mail write about them[1] (not that I consider them reliable, but it just shows how they are very far from being some obscure group). The original article should never have been deleted in the first place, although this new one is clearly written from scratch. --Amanda A. Brant (talk) 21:43, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
