Talk:Brevard Family of Housing

Notability

This is another semi-obscure organization that spends $20 million annually of the taxpayers money, more than many towns and villages, which are "automatically" considered notable. It is controversial, which I cannot now document, being away for the weekend. There have been firings, complaints, mergers and breakaways. Student7 (talk) 16:37, 14 May 2010 (UTC)had

Kind of like a hospital, actually. Those seem to be considered notable even though they may not have had anyone murdered by an aide or whatever catapults them into the popular media. Student7 (talk) 16:40, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Florida Today is clearly a "secondary source." There are no primary sources here or any connected with them. Student7 (talk) 18:18, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Florida Today is a reliable source but finding an article covering a topic doesn't automatically make that topic notable. It's got to be clear from the article why the topic is notable. This article still does not make it clear how the topic is notable.--RadioFan (talk) 19:21, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

The guideline says "An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources." Essentially, the guideline is attempting to prevent handouts from an organization for being the indirect source of notability. The information that Florida Today used was obtained from the organization and from "other" sources. This was not an attempt to publicize this organization which tries, like most agencies, to stay out of the media, not in it! It is not trying to sell anything. This is hardly WP:SPAM!.

There were two back-to-back reports on the agency which I have incorporated. There is an article about every month or so. It seemed time to have an article to put it into. In other words, it was notability and publicity that dictated the timing of the article, not the agency. Student7 (talk) 19:44, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Again, no one is questioning the coverage, Florida Today is a reliable source. The article still doesn't make it clear how this subject is notable, only that it exists. Probably just a simple rewording needed.--RadioFan (talk) 20:16, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

In this case, coverage = notability. Since you are questioning notability, you are questioning the coverage. Student7 (talk) 13:58, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Please explain why you feel this is topic is notable other than there being a couple of article about it.--RadioFan (talk) 15:13, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Because "it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources." I did not notice in the policy, and may have missed it, that more than one criterion must be met. It meets this ONE criterion. Why do you say it needs to meet more than that one? Student7 (talk) 23:55, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Update

It appears that the name has been changed to "Housing Authority of Brevard" offering both low-rent and section 8 housing. It appears to partner with Housing Authority of Melbourne which offers low-rent only. The link in the header is now wrong. I assume the organization has a "million dollar" inventory of housing and/or money to spend. See http://www.gosection8.com/public-housing-authority/Brevard-FL/ and http://www.habc.us/Home/tabid/7121/Default.aspx which doesn't have all the info the web page promises.Student7 (talk) 15:33, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
