Facebook groups, even large ones, are not notable. The references provided are not from reliable sources. DWaterson 10:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. MER-C 10:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete any and all facebook groups, myspace groups, yahoo groups, friendster groups, msn groups, orkut groups, etc Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The article is well-sourced, and fairly well written. Given the frequency of AfD noms for list and organisation-related articles, I wonder if a review is needed about the notability of user "groups" in general. If millions of people are part of a group, does that not at least give a group notoriety? While every group with 1,000,000 members may not deserve an article, neither do the many lists and collections of loosely associated articles. I think that a policy page dealing strictly with creation of "list" and "collection" style articles may be necessary, to reduce the number of AfD nominations produced daily.--Lostcause365 00:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep "any and all facebook groups, myspace groups, yahoo groups, friendster groups, msn groups, orkut groups, etc" - this is nonsense. Any group that is notable should of course be kept, simply because something comes from a social website does not in any way mean it is of 'less value' than a non-social website. This is an obvious speedy keep, apart from the fact 400,000 people are in this group, there are a number of google results, proving that it is notable. Thedreamdied 14:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This clearly doesn't fall under any of the criteria for speedy keeping. DWaterson 15:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
