308:. This is a thorough article about a statewide group, and I'm a bit surprised to see it nominated for deletion. It does have some NPOV issues but that does not a deletion make. Two of the articles cited (which OP dismisses as insubstantial) are explicitly dedicated to the group (in the Auburn Villager and Auburn Plainsman) and another article (from the Anniston Star) might as well be, because it centers around the group's activity. The shortest of them is just under 400 words - the longest, over 1000. To me, these clearly meet the standards for significance, independence and reliability. They are also clearly secondary. I think audience breadth is a fair question, but I think the coverage is demonstrably regional, not local (as is the group's membership) and the NYT and USA Today mentions put it over the top as a statewide manifestation of a national phenomenon. --
355:: they are reliable, independent sources that provide significant coverage of this group. Notability is thus established per Vivisel's arguments, according to the General Notability Guideline. I agree with the AfD nominator that the NY Times and USA Today do not provide significant coverage, but this is irrelevant to the notability question, because newspapers from Alabama qualify as reliable, independent sources just as much as newspapers from other states.

Not a notable political group. The NYTimes and USAToday mentions are both trivial, and none of the independent references appear to be substantial.

as stated by
Vivisel, the sources provide sufficient coverage and would seem reliable enough to qualify as suitable sources.
