Does not meet WP:GNG, all available coverage in independent sources is primary announcements of events sponsored by the subject. I checked several search engines as well as Newspapers.com _signed,Rosguill ^talk 04:09, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Room for improvement, not deletion – I understand the notion that's being raised about strength of references, but I believe there are other alternatives to deleting this page. From what I've read Blue Rose Foundation is a noteworthy organization and has drawn in support from several high profile influencers in California for the last 6 years. I'd recommend potentially adjusting the class of the article to a Stub, so that the Wikipedia community can continue to build the article as new sources become available.--Copeland.powell (talk) 16:36, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While laudable, the foundation's activities don't seem to rise to enough notability for an encyclopedia article. --Lockley (talk) 19:58, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning keep, or draftify. There appears to be sufficient reporting on this entity to meet the WP:GNG. A "Blue Rose Foundation" apparently existed in the 1970s, and it is unclear whether these are connected entities, or perhaps whether the current entity is named or modeled after the earlier one.

Just wanted to clarify what I probably should have spelled out in my nomination statement: based on a Newspapers.com search, there appear to be several different groups that share this name, most of which are significantly older than the 2014 foundation date of the subject of this discussion. Based on my search, I don't believe that these organizations have anything in common; most of the older coverage is about organization(s) focusing on aid to mentally disabled adults, whereas this organization's self-declared focus is education access for children of low-income families. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 23:33, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
