Notability[edit]

The article has sources talking about Navigators USA including Backpacker Magazine, NBC News, and two major daily papers. I feel like we need at the very least some discussion before deleting the article wholesale.steventity (talk) 22:31, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There has been discussion about this with major push back against enforcing WP:Notability. Many of the Scouting project attacked me for attempt to save the article by rolling them up at Scout-like organizations in the United States then attempting to have it deleted, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Independent Scout and Scout-like organizations in the United States, which failed. So, your claim that it was not discussed is false and that the article was deleted wholesale. The Navigators USA exists over at the list article, which you removed without discussion.

There must be "sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time." Backpacker Magazine is about TrailLife USA with a single short paragraph (thus not significant) of Navigators and is niche publication (not an "at large" news outlet). NBC News is more about alternative scouting in general with some reasonable coverage about Navigators. What two "major" daily papers? The New York Times is a major "at large", but isn't about Navigators at all. The quote in the WP article doesn't exist in there and there is nothing else there about Navigator. Both the Cincinnati Enquirer and Hampton Roads Daily Press do not rise to the level of an "at large" newspaper like the LA or New York Times. Spshu (talk) 13:14, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Updates[edit]

I find it fascinating from the other side of the world, in Australia, that this organisation exists. Does it still still exist? Has it spread outside the USA? Can someone update and expand the article? My experience of Scouting in the UK and Australia is that there is massive hypocrisy about religion. Very many Scout Leaders and members do not believe in god. --Bduke (talk) 06:05, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
