"Organizations" was added, apparently without any specific discussion, by [ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_dele...] as recently as Oct 11, 2007, in the midst of a more general discussion about CSDA7 (now in Archive24).do you have any earlier diffs?

That's been there for quite some time. I remember "organization" (it might've been "group" then) being part of A7 when I was very first admin, and that's coming up a year now. Regardless, I certainly don't -mind- seeing it less limited, I'd like to see sourcing requirements grow some teeth, and for minimum quality standards to grow some too. There really are a lot of articles done on organizations which assert no notability, I see nothing wrong with speedying them.

The term "organization" was put in by stealth or accident a few months

Before that, the types of articles under A7 were much more limited.

generally considered to be non-notable, but they are headquartered in
a
500-foot-tall tower that's made of cheese, it seems quite reasonable
to
have an article about the tower even if we don't have one about the company itself.
(Well, as reasonable as possible for someone such as myself who's
quite
dubious about the value of the concept of "notability" in general -
I'm
trying to put myself in deletionist shoes here.)
