Center for the Advancement of Capitalism

Delete. Non-notable think tank. Firebug 03:52, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. I first thought to keep because it said it had entries in both Wikiquote and Wikisource, then I realised there were none. Plus, the name is misleading in itself, advancing "capitalism" doesn't mean advancing individual rights. -- Natalinasmpf 03:56, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep: Google returns >4,000 hits. Seems notable enough, and there's plenty in Wikipedia that is less notable. The name of the organization is real. --Durin 03:57, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Notable organization from the objectivist movement. ElBenevolente 04:36, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I've seen them quoted as a source from time to time. Feco 05:31, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 06:11, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Established think tank. Nothing misleading in the name. jni 11:27, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Claim that ""capitalism" doesn't mean advancing individual rights" is without merit; Objectivist thought, which this group represents, explicitly recognizes the connection between the principle of individual rights and capitalism as a social system. See "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal" by Ayn Rand. Principals have appeared on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, NPR's Justice Talking, C-SPAN, represented Objectivist position on antitrust re: US v. Microsoft, opinion part of DOJ's "major comments" list (under former name of "Center for the Moral Defense of Capitalism") 69.170.17.193 19:01, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Claim that ""capitalism" doesn't mean advancing individual rights" reflects non-NPOV. Claimant's webpage indicates claimant is a minor child.

- Quit age-baiting! I've been through it before and no one should have to experience it on Wikipedia. Judge by contributions and ideas, not by groups of 365 days. —Sesel wa 22:49, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
