WP:CORPDEPTH too badly to use them to show notability ♠

Strong Keep – More sources can be found
here and even more
here. That is over 2,100 book sources and an extra 51 for news! J947 02:21, 6 March 2017 (UTC)reply
Many of those book references seem to be referring to lower-case outright libertarians — not the proper noun, but the adjective followed by the common noun. Others are inclusions in lists. The news articles are mainly mentions, like "Baker is... [among other things] ...the secretary of the National Outright Libertarians Organization" and even some of those are about local politics, which doesn't provide much notability. There doesn't seem to be depth of coverage, even with the recent election.

There's still enough for me to strongly keep. J947 17:58, 6 March 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep. Seems like a reasonable article about a legit org. The Advocate, vice.com and Nashville refs are enough to establish notability.

Delete Most of those "sources" are not actually about this organisation. Those that are about this organisation are purely trivial mentions. Coverage of an organisation opening a Nashville chapter is not sufficient to demonstrate notability. See
WP:ORGDEPTH which states "The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability. Deep coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond routine announcements"

Delete - While it gets lots of mentions, they are not in-depth at all. The organization exists, true, but does not appear to pass
WP:GNG, and certainly doesn't pass
WP:CORPDEPTH.
