Not much claim to notability besides helping publish a notable magazine, Ms.. Article credits FMF with helping get several pieces of notable legislation passed, but does not cite a source proving that they played a large role in passing that legislation. I can't really find any in-depth coverage on Google, and the pre-internet coverage cited on the page isn't very convincing. An editor removed my PROD on this page on the basis that they found two new sources on Newspapers.com; however, one of those sources is a profile of Mavis Leno that simply mentions FMF in passing, while the other is about women's groups more broadly, only briefly mentioning FMF in a paragraph about its president, Eleanor Smeal. The editor who removed the PROD suggested a redirect to the magazine's page, which I wouldn't be mad about, but I think Smeal's page would be a better redirect target.

• Keep or merge. There is definitely some notability here although it might or might not be enough for an article. The Google Scholar search turns up two papers with the name of the organisation in the actual title: [1] and [2] in two different publications. One is unrelated to the magazine, which seems to point away from that as a merge target. There is also some Google News coverage but a lot of it is passing mentions. Here is some coverage of a lawsuit they brought [3] and [4]. Is it enough for a keep? I'm not sure, but it's definitely close enough not to be a delete and probably also not a redirect, at least not without merging some of the content. --DanielRigal (talk) 18:11, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I found further peer reviewed materials: "Unequal Virtual Terrains: Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA)" "RAWA was briefly allied with the Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF) when this United States (US)-based organisation also made theplight of women in Afghanistan a priority. However, disagreements between the two organisations soon came to light. This article examines the experiences of RAWA's interactions with FMF using Appadurai’s imaginary landscapes as a theoretical basis." South Asian Survey 20(1), 2013 pp 6-21. "Amplifying Our Voices: Feminist Scholars Writing for the Public" Feminist Formations, 32(2), 2020, pp. 29-51. "Expecting the unexpected. Non-profit women’s organizations’ media responses to anti-abortion terrorism" Journal of communication management, 17(1), 2013, pp.341-363. WP:NEXIST, passes the WP:GNG. Merge with Ms. would be inappropriate; depsite the present relationship both have quite distinct histories. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 07:55, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per sourcing provided by Goldsztajn. Passes WP:GNG. Sal2100 (talk) 20:47, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Strongly. Nearly every major U.S. Election has someone endorsed by Feminist Majority PAC which links to this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bte3000 (talk • contribs) 22:25, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, notability demonstrated above. Bobby Cohn (talk) 16:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
