Keep Seems to be a new organization with a lot to offer. Why don't we give them a chance to bloom and make a lasting contribution to the community? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.18.45.98 (talk) 18:37, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No indication of notability and many of the references are not independent sources. Some don't even mention "Zendo USA". Astudent0 (talk) 15:13, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:CLUB. If the article is kept, be advised there are parts of the article copied from the organization's website resulting in WP:Copyright Problems. --TreyGeek (talk) 15:18, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Clearly fails WP:CLUB. No indication of notability and lacks significant reliable sources. Papaursa (talk) 00:11, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
