Not sure there's sufficient assertion of notability here. There are lots of Google News hits, but a lot of them are just quoting the director. There are very few incoming links. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 12:01, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. [1] supports the claim that it's the oldest and largest group of its kind in Maine. Even more news items if you search for the original name, the Maine Lesbian and Gay Political Alliance. Pburka (talk) 17:19, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This organization has been the driving force behind the gay rights movement in Maine. The article needs to be improved, and I believe that's something that can be done with relatively little effort. –BMRR (talk) 19:39, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - seems short of WP:ORG. Maybe the MLGPA should have and article and this could be transitioned there? - Haymaker (talk) 21:14, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Note. MLGPA is the old name of EqualityMaine. It doesn't make sense to move this article to a name which the organization no longer uses. Pburka (talk) 21:56, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I added a few things I found to the article, there's a fair bit more, but certainly in comparison with the last AfD I !voted in, this subject has a veritable treasure-trove of sourcing. As a result, I believe it demonstrates notability under WP:GNG and WP:ORG. I'll look and see if the appropriate redirects from older names exist. --joe decker ^{talk to me} 01:22, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. News results seem perfectly adequate: this, the Press-Herald, this, to choose a few at random. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 03:50, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
