No indication that the organization meets the notability guidelines for inclusion. The single article given as reference is the only secondary source I could find on Google about them. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 19:45, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: This organization is not recognized by the IRS as a non profit organization. Possible fraudulent schemes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidA373 (talk • contribs) 19:49, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

- Delete, but only because it is too new and there are not yet enough reliable sources with significant coverage to make a decent stub. I've done some on-line searches, and have verified its existence and am satisfied that it is not fraudulent. I need to emphasize that recognition or non-recognition by the IRS is irrelevant to is veracity; DavidA373's ad hominem to the contrary borders on the intersection of homophobia and defamation. The I.R.S. allows many different types of non-profits, from 528s to the Elks Lodges, some of which are charities, but most are not. On the other hand, its verifiability doesn't make it notable.

- Delete - Only a single published article has covered this very new organization. It may be notable in the future, but for now it fails WP:NONPROFIT. - MrX 01:44, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
- Delete - I have no idea whether this organisation is involved in "[p]ossible fraudulent schemes" because there is no reliable sources. In any case, that's irrelevant to notability. The Tucson Weekly article isn't useful as a source as the bulk of the material in the article is jut a big quote from Southern Arizona Pride's web site. -- Whpq (talk) 22:31, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
