a non notable organization. I proposed deletion, based on the article's only two sources coming from the organization itself, but the proposal was rejected by an editor who added another source- which is a non-RS political advocacy organization, too HupHollandHup (talk) 14:12, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

• Keep: The organization is mentioned in numerous articles for example: Electronicintifada: . Article at Norman Finkelsteins website: , The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre: Globalresearch: . OPGAI has many notable mambers and OPGAI has participated at several international conferences such as the Belain Conference, World Social Forum and the European Social Forum. OPGAI also started the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Campaign endorsed by 171 organizations, unions, networks and political parties --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 14:34, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Just being "mentioned" in an article is not enough to establish notability. We need significant, in-depth coverage in 3rd party sources to establish notability. On top of that, most of the "mentions" you list above are in non-mainstream, non-RS sources. HupHollandHup (talk) 15:03, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

All sources above are 3rd party. Norman Finkelsteins website is pretty big, he received his doctorate from the Department of Politics at Princeton University. Finkelstein is the author of five books which have been translated into more than 40 foreign editions,, there are many interviews with him on the web and many major news agency's have articles about him including the BBC . Globalresearch is a mainstream website. The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre was established in 1998 by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), is the leading international body monitoring conflict-induced internal displacement worldwide Electronicintifada is a major media website about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 16:20, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

• Delete. Unless anyone can show how this organization meets the WP:ORG notability criteria, that is that the organization has received significant coverage in sources considered both independent and reliable.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 07:09, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
• Keep Seems just as notable as Front for the Liberation of the Golan. Chesdovi (talk) 12:43, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

The articles have nothing in common. OPASGHAI is a real organization. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 22:15, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
