The result was delete due to consensus that the sources presented are not sufficient, but I will create a redirect to Model Congress as that seems useful. W.marsh 17:37, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Youth Legislative Assembly

Non-notable state student organization. It appears to be North Carolina's Model Congress and appears to have no real notability, especially notability that is established through reliable sources. Google brings up about 800 hits (500 when you add "North Carolina" to the search) but a lot seem to be school websites that sponsor the program and the programs website (which makes up a large bulk of the hits).

Keep - This is notable as per WP:ORG. Some secondary sources which I have used [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. There are many more which can be found as well. Acidskater 04:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment none of these are A. in the article it appears or B. very reliable to confer notability. Link 1 is a passing mention in a state board of education minutes. Link 3 is a press release that only mentions this program in relation to another program. Link 4 doesn't work. Link 5 doesn't appear to be a reliable source at all. This only leaves link 2, the News Observer article which doesn't seem to confer too much notability other than to serve as a "go youth leaders!" piece that local papers tend to write about such conferences. As far as I can see, these do no add notability, nor does notability exist in the article (since these links only exist in this AFD and not in that article) nor are there any reliable sources in the article.

Keep - Per above Rackabello 04:46, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete References given above are inadequate as all but one only refer to subject in passing. No evidence that this passes WP:ORG. --Charlene 09:29, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails WP:ORG: "Organizations whose activities are local in scope are usually not notable unless verifiable information from reliable independent sources can be found." RGTraynor 16:52, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
