A page about a volunteering organization. Although it looks like they do great stuff they do not appear to be notable with no Google News results and only 4,450 google hits. mboverload@ 23:08, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

• Delete, unless because those google hits might also even be for Juvenile Community Offender Restitution and Public Service. If the page is expanded a bit and two or three independent sources are added, then it's okay, though. Stijndon (talk) 23:19, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Not sure how to respond. Here are some NEWS articles about JCorps

:ALSO, JCorps is the largest Jewish volunteer network in the world. It is the 2nd largest volunteer network (of any kind) in New York City. It :operates in three countries. What is not notable about that? --Ateman (talk) 23:21, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

::Thank you Ateman. This is important information. I'm a bit concerned that the only coverage appears to be in Jewish newspapers and not the general arena. Don't worry, this is a discussion and not a vote so no need to rush. --mboverload@ 23:21, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

:::Thank you Mboverload. I have added those links. You can also find JCorps listed on The NYC Mayor's volunteer site at http://www.volunteernyc.org/org/opp/10285579202.html (Note: that site is moderated by the Mayor's office on volunteering. It is not an open directory.) The NYC government, is, of course, non-sectarian. JCorps is also a Google Grants recipient. It can be found on most volunteer sites (VolunteerMatch, Idealist, United Way, etc. ) Ateman (talk) 23:37, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

::::Well, add those links to the article, then! If you improve your page, people will probably vote 'keep'. Maybe you would want to vote 'keep' yourself, too. Stijndon (talk) 23:22, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

:::::Thank you Stijndon! I've done that. I don't see anywhere to vote though?Ateman (talk) 23:37, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

:::::Also: [http://www.timeout.com/newyork/events/standup/106821/2346821/jcorps-charity-comedy-night] Time Out NY (a non-Jewish news source) listing a JCorps event. (Again, a moderated list, not an open directory. That listing was added by the comedy editor).

::::::*Just vote here by beginning a new line, and writing *(Your_vote_goes_here) because (Your_reason_goes_here) ~~~~ You can easily spy this by just looking at the 'code' other people used to vote. See a nice template somewhere that you want to use? Just hit 'edit' and see what you need to write to get it :) Stijndon (talk) 23:45, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

• Keep because the vote to delete was put up with the objection that there are no News results. That was remedied and there are four recent news articles listed in the article.

::* Futher, regarding being notable: the second-largest volunteer organization in New York City is certainly notable, as is the largest Jewish volunteer organization in the World (it is an international organization, operating in three countries), as is and organization that invented the concept and term "Social Volunteering", as is an organization honored by Mayor Bloomberg, the mayor of NYC. JCorps is revolutionary (among all demographics) in its using social-networking to generate volunteering. Ateman (talk) 04:10, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Sources seem to meet WP:N. Hobit (talk) 16:24, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
• Keep and add the sources mentioned above. By our usual standards, they are sufficient. DGG (talk) 02:55, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy close PER NOMINATOR I nominated this and now I think it should be closed. Special accolades should be given to User:Ateman who went though this with a cool head. I hope you stick around Ateman, we could use people like you! --mboverload@ 03:04, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
