[edit]I didn't create this page but it is a large organisation and should be represented in wikipedia. SuzanneKn 22:48, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, apparently someone changed the link and made it look like spam. Leuko 23:05, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, please keep. It's a major organisation well known in the UK. --Auximines 23:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- But actually, after looking at the correct website, it is a fee-for-service provider of counseling. Still seems like WP:SPAM to me. Leuko 23:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

The fact that the service is free does not make the page spam. I'm also sure people would be interested in the type of service offered and success rates etc. Also how does it compare to services offered in other countries. Also at what date and why did the stop just dealing with married couples and start offering support to partners. Does it offer guidance to people in gay relationships. The points on govt funding are already interesting. Certainly an encyclodedic topic. SuzanneKn 11:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- I put in the funding story to help make it look encyclopedic, because before that all the material was from the website, or may as well have been. Hopefully if people dig through the newly-added weblinks, this article will end up doing justice to the service. Totnesmartin 12:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- I think the page should be kept. Geoffjw1978 T L C 13:06, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Removed AFD notification from this page
[edit]I removed the {{Oldafdfull}} from the top of this page as it was referring to the Wikipedia:Relate policy page (for which the result was delete, and therefore this template was wrong also...) and not this charity page. Nikthestoned 11:30, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
