Fails
WP:GNG and
WP:NORG. Article has been tagged as "no citations" for the last 8 years. I didn't find any significant coverage by reliable sources.

Keep I have added the sources found which include 2 in-depth articles from
WP:RS exclusively on the organisation plus some significative coverage in other articles in RS. The article needs improving but I think I have done enough to show notability there are a lot more sources that can be added if needs be. --

I just noted that there were a lot of sources in an
earlier version that was quite rightly IMO deemed to be too promotional by @
MER-C: who reverted to a version that had no sources which had been tagged as such at the time (2012). So it is incorrect to say that it had been tagged for 8 years with "no citations". Before nominating it is useful to look through the history to see if there is nothing salvageable from earlier versions. --

I just checked your additions. Good effort, but a company isn't notable because it sends a C&D notice to another organization, has bike ride fundraisers, or lays off people during COVID-19. A lot of the others were brief mentions. The only really good coverage was the marinij.com article. So far, that is not "significant coverage". When doing BEFORE, I DID notice some of these items such as bike rides, COVID layoffs, and the brief mentions, but I deemed my search leading to "not notable" and therefore wasn't worth my time to update the article.

I agree the fact that they sent a C&D notice or that they have laid off people or organised bike rides is not in itself a claim to notability but the fact that local national and international outlets have picked it up and done full length pieces about it is. You are confusing the event itself and the coverage. The guideline says "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." not that what they cover has to be independently notable. This is not trivial coverage. I've added a few more articles that are in-depth cover in independent RS notably
Daily CameraThe Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles etc, some coverage of the founder
The Forward. Yes these are almost all exclusively Jewish publications but they are longstanding reliable sources some of which are local but some are national and international. I have added an article from
WDIV-TV and the
Times of Israel. Anyway I may have refbombed the article a little but I hope that gives anyone else coming to !vote some food for thought as you seem to have made your mind up already. A good tip when nominating is say what you found in a before search and explain why you don't think it points to notability. --

Also another top tip for looking for sources before nominating is the organisation's own "In the Media" page.
here yes they will be only positive but there are literally hundreds in there which may help to find what you couldn't in the before search. --
