- Delete appears non notable. I doubt we could find any independent source, but if we do than I would change my vote. --Daniel J. Leivick 00:16, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- DO NOT DELETE, The article should not be deleted for reasons I have written about in the article because of the sheer importance of this list to the NGOs, but the article has to be improved, editors are welcome to improve this page and do more research and add independent sources etc.. This is a very famous list doing very important and urgently needed work. Thanks Atulsnischal 04:16, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I have rewritten the article and properly sourced it. I've added a section about a prediction of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake on the list that made headlines. —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-07 10:30Z
- Delete. None of the sources or references establish notability. utcursch | talk 13:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep. This was perhaps one of the first scholarly discussion groups that ever dealt with India. It has produced interesting debates in the past although it later became a site with rhetoric and it does have a large subscription and has lasted since perhaps 1995. The article is currently a mess including the title. If kept, it should be renamed, rewritten in a proper tone. It is perhaps not notable for those who have little to do with the biodiversity of India. With a narrow view like that there are probably more deletables around.

- I think references are a secondary issue here ... rather the question is whether a "mailing list" is encyclopedic enough to merit an entry. Are there any other examples of articles on mailing lists? --Ragib 02:17, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
