• KEEP - I have made significant changes and improvements including citations to news sources. Still a stub but notable and relevant enough to keep. Myotus (talk) 19:12, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep There was no sig cov present in the article, true, and it really wasn't in great shape (And a big thank you to Myotus for helping to spruce it up!). However, there's a lot out there. A quick search brought me to these news articles ("Ellis Bird Farm celebrates 20 years of the Blue Feather Award" from 2019, "Ellis Bird Farm staff and volunteers are celebrating 35 years" from 2017, "Bluebird heaven is close at hand" from 1997, among others (Representative sample:[1][2][3][4][5] [6])). These sources are diverse enough to satisfy the geographic broadness criterion of WP:NCORP, they're in-depth, and they're independent. Additionally, while I haven't had a chance to dig in too much further, there's also a fair few hits in Google Books and Proquest that I'm going to look at to try and expand the article. Interestingly, looking at platforms like Google Scholar and Jstor reveal that the bluebirds of this sanctuary have been studied in academic journals; that's not sigcov of the corporation in the traditional sense, but it points to its relevance to an encyclopedia. (representative sample: [7][8]) The North American Bluebird Society apparently did a piece on Ellis Bird Farm's history in their journal in 1986 that could be good for potentially expanding the early history. I'll have a go at adding these to the article once I have the chance. But these should show that it clearly passes the GNG. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 01:56, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep sourcing I'm seeing is probably same as GLL's, and I think it's enough for N:ORG. Star Mississippi 00:37, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
