- List of grassroots organizations (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
There have historically been three classes of entry in this list:
- Bare links to articles
- Bare redlinks
- Weblinks to organisations usually without articles
The first is best served by a category, as the list is very obviously incomplete and categories are automagically updated. The second is not, in my view, necessary, since these days every single nonprofit on the planet sets up a Wikipedia article right after they get their own website online (and sometimes before). The third violates WP:NOT a linkfarm.
I would suggest that this is one of those lists that is redundant to a category. I would simply redirect, but lists typically attract fierce advocacy so a debate is warranted, I think. Guy (Help!) 11:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Is there any way the list could be made into something not redundant with a category? I'm trying to think of one. Ancemy (talk) 22:39, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Delete - This is an indiscriminate collection of information; no uncontentious definition of the subject may be possible. If anything, this should be a category. AlexTiefling (talk) 11:13, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per items 2-4, 6, and 11 of WP:LC. Stifle (talk) 11:55, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: when the page was created, the edit summary by Aquillion was "Moving rapidly expanding list from Grassroots; for contributor information, see that article." More than two years have went and the list is still incomplete. It's hopeless. Alexius08 (talk) 13:09, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
