The result was delete. Very few of the Keep nominations address the major issues with this article, that of OR and SYNTH. Black Kite (t) (c) 15:24, 18 June 2011 (UTC) reply
Over-extended dictionary definition which seeks to encompass all possible support groups even if they're not actually called "friends of..." Most dictionaries give this a single line at most. Fails WP:NOTDICDEF, WP:RS, WP:OR andy ( talk) 08:29, 7 June 2011 (UTC) reply
Speedy Keep. The point of this article is to cover a notable topic. There are thousands of "friends of" organizations and they are a distinct topic. They tend to be created because of something being in a state of neglect. Whereas most charities, groups or clubs are based on a topic of interest or passion. They are also unique as they tend to be precursors to actual formal organizations, 501c3s, and NGOs and have a local in nature or very specific mission.

[...] the Society of Friends take their name from their self-description 'Friends of Truth' or 'Friends of the Truth', dating from their inception [...]), and merits mention as such. -- Jandalhandler ( talk) 22:22, 13 June 2011 (UTC) reply
Collapsed off-topic discussion about timing of AfDs, civility of nominations, and relationships between AfDs and PRODs.
