How does this orginization in any way meet wp:N, particularly wp:ORG? -- 208.81.184.4 ( talk) 21:58, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
"Orginization" is spelled "organization." Independent third party sources DO exist and will be referenced in due course. But then, oh, yes, only Google contains ALL worthwhile knowledge. Why, if something doesn't show up in Google then it doesn't exist, no? :) Read The Filter Bubble to disabuse such specious reasoning. The facts remain: the BFO is one of the oldest and largest family associations in the United States; its activities over the years have received regional and national attention. As noted under Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies):
"Notability requires only that these necessary sources exist, not that the sources have already been named in the article."
"Arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations or their products."
"Sources used to support a claim of notability include independent, reliable publications in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, websites, [etc.]"
"Non-commercial organizations: Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards: 1. The scope of their activities is national or international in scale. 2. Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple, third-party, independent, reliable sources. Additional considerations are: . . . Factors that have attracted widespread attention: The organization’s longevity, size of membership, major achievements, prominent scandals, or other factors specific to the organization should be considered to the extent that these factors have been reported by independent sources. This list is not exhaustive and not conclusive." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stratavarious1 ( talk • contribs) 03:12, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
