373:. I have added more references and tried to rewrite sections that appeared bias while attempting to maintain the integrity of the reseach. For those of you who wish to torpedo this project, I would like to request that you offer suggestions as to how it could be made worthey of Knowledge (XXG) material rather that just simply touting it as spam.
475:
Yes, he is quite the spammer. The closing admin should look at the article, which at this point is a mess, and judge accordingly. DGG is attempting to apply the "AfD is not cleanup" argument to sources, but I have looked at the sources that are available online, and none of them are more than short
304:
I also have letters from four prominent
Washington State leaders commending the organization for it's service to the state. This association has a rich history and it would be a true loss to Knowledge (XXG) if it were deleted. Please let me know what I may be of help to keep this article alive.
300:. I am the originator of this project and I assure you it is not spam. This is a notable organization that has a 75 year history of promoting the Olympic Peninsula, The University of Washington is even using it's historical brochures as part of their Evergreen Playground online Museum. See
458:, executive director of this and related organizations, to publicize various businesses controlled by Dan Youra Studios. Snyder has done virtually nothing to further Knowledge (XXG), and just about all of his edits are heavy with blatant conflicts of interest. --
244:. A Lexis-Nexis search, which I'm pretty is the best online news search has 15 references dating back to 1991, the newest is April 7, 2002. 3 are press releases, and 12 news articles, all of which mention OPTA along the lines of
227:. The group may have been more active in its earlier days, before the Internet, so reliable sources probably exist in the form of articles that appeared at the time in local and regional newspapers and trade publications. --
204:. Of the nine references there, none are actually about OPTA. One is about the guy who runs it, and the others just reference it as a way of getting tourist information. They do not establish notability. --

326:
396:, I'm changing my opinion based on the good faith attempts by Mr Snyder, but the article still needs more sources, which may be gathering dust in newspaper morgues, for notability.
