Well, most of them weren't independent sources, being links to gnaa.us and gnaauk.co.uk.
Of those that were independent, they fell into three classes: some made only a passing mention of GNAA, some were articles where GNAA was only mentioned in the message board responses at the bottom, and those that were actually *about* GNAA were blogs (there were one or two of those).
This is not true and makes me wonder how many people making those claims really have read the article.
OK, I just looked at the version from 26 September 2006 (which is on the Citizendium pilot wiki). The description given above of the sources seems accurate. Can you point us to which source doesn't fit that description.
Reading the article, if all of it is true then the organization does seem notable to me, and it seems to me there *must* be some reliable third party sources out there. That said, I don't know of any, so I have to agree with the deletion with the understanding that a valid deletion doesn't preclude someone writing a good article from reliable third party sources in the future.
