Should we add a sub-section for US states?

The article List of transgender-support organizations was recently deleted, and now List of transgender-rights organizations is up for deletion. Please weigh in on the discussion there, as the outcome will inevitably set a precendent for this article as well.

It really needs to be categorized nation by nation... Towsonu2003 07:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Are we limiting ourselves to su deposuorganizations which already have articles or is ANY LGBT organization eligible for this list? 10:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC) konteyner
Is there a reason JoshuaKuo deleted my addition of relevant topics? David Nelson ( talk) 05:21, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Apparently not. JoshuaKuo spent just 28 seconds considering to delete my additions which were relevant, local and accurate. He seems to do a lot of that kind of "revert" vandalism.

All organizations without articles of their own were removed from the list by Outsider80 with the argument that “this is not a yellow pages of every LGBT group in the world. [T]he DMOZ link at the bottom of the page serves this purpose.” Later, hidden h.t.m.l. comments were added to every section: “Please only list organizations which have articles. If the organization meets WP:NOTABILITY guidelines and does not have an article already, please consider starting one first.” Notability is required for a subject to have an article, but not to appear on a list. All over Wikipedia are numerous lists on which the majority of items have no articles, and that’s perfectly fine. A list of only subjects with articles is pointless; that’s what categories are for. If the list is too long because “every LGBT group in the world” is on it, then it should be broken into shorter lists rather than purged of relevant items. There is certainly no rule saying that even notable subjects mustn’t appear on a list until they have articles. Also, the DMOZ link is to a directory of current organizations, yet numerous historic organizations which no longer exist were expunged from this list, organizations that have no place on the linked DMOZ page. Based on this argument, I am reverting the article to an earlier version. Elyaqim ( talk) 11:23, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Would there be any opposition to changing the sections from A-Z to geographic? This would be more intuitive as a reader is more likely to be looking for organizations in a particular continent or country, rather than "all organizations that begin with K"

The article 5degrees, about an LGBT-related non-profit organization in Singapore, has been deleted as the result of a WP:PROD action. Mentioning here in case there is interest in recovering the article as a redirect to a new line item entry here. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me) 12:10, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
