Keep. The coverage by The Times, Charity Times, and Third Sector (magazine) (shown as references in the article) is enough to show notability. Defunct organizations shouldn't be deleted just because they are defunct. "Once notable, always notable." Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:28, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I Found reference from bbc children in need website as well link added it to article. 1keyhole (talk) 01:20, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's just a link to their website, not coverage of the org. JoelleJay (talk) 02:09, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
BBC Children in need raises money for charitable organizations such as Get Connected and they also give out coverage so people can find those services that's why the charity is listed on the children in need website. 1keyhole (talk) 17:31, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Which is 100% irrelevant to the question of notability. JoelleJay (talk) 23:57, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Subject fails NCORP. The Times article is basically a PR puff piece (even containing a link to the site at the end); the Charity Times one is obviously not independent or secondary as it's an announcement from the org giving the subject an award and consists entirely of one quote from a judge; and the Third Sector piece is a routine merger announcement drawn entirely from a press release.

Keep. the charity had many notable ties with the national health service trusts, schools, and other youth organizations throughout the united kingdom --1keyhole (talk) 01:50, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
what do you mean by "notable ties"? It needs to meet WP:ORG. LibStar (talk) 09:51, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to The Mix (charity), or Keep, per Eastmain etc. Johnbod (talk) 03:31, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
