Delete This is a local club with no evidence of notability. No sources are cited, and my searching has failed to produce independent sources. The article was previously deleted, but was re-created in substantially the same form. In my opinion the article qualifies for another speedy deletion, but a discussion may be a better way of dealing with it, in view of the possibility of further re-creations.

The previous deletion was because I cut and pasted the "About NYLUG" info from their homepage and it was autoflagged as potential plagiarism. The editor who deleted it, suggested I recreate the article, but write new text, and that he felt that NYLUG was worthy of an article. (On IRC.) (He said it was policy to wipe pages with that autoflag, to reduce the potential for infringing text to stay in the article).
I noted there is a Wikipedia category for "Linux User Groups" so that would suggest articles on such organizations are welcome and expected. Category:Linux User Groups and loosely based the structure of the initial NYLUG article on a random sampling of those articles.
Here are a few links that I believe would qualify as citations, if they would help, and I can probably talk to people who know more aout NYLUG's history to add them to the article. http://yro.slashdot.org/story/01/07/25/1632246/Still-in-DMCA-Prison http://news.slashdot.org/story/01/01/25/2320255/Ask-David-Korn-About-ksh-And-More http://tech.slashdot.org/story/00/07/17/1820240/Judge-Conflicted-Interest-in-MPAA2600-DeCSS-Case http://yro.slashdot.org/story/00/07/17/1130233/NYLUG-Demonstration-At-DVD-Trial http://openideals.org/2009/02/23/eweek-coverage-of-nylug-android-event/
Of note, NYLUG is the oldest Linux User group in the greater New York Area according to http://www.luny.org/
