Unsourced stub since May 2008. That's long enough to fix it if anyone cared, I think. Guy (Help!) 13:05, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment BBC News story here regarding an OBE awarded to the organisation's founder. She was also the Glasgow Evening Times "Scotswoman of the Year" in 2005: [1]AllyD (talk) 13:33, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Article now has 3rd party references. AllyD (talk) 13:43, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or Merge to Sandra Brown (campaigner). Notability is the issue, not how long the article has been here. Coverage exists, but a lot of it is more about Brown: [2], [3], [4], [5]. Little detailed coverage of the foundation found. A section in the Sandra Brown article (this already exists) may be the best approach.--Michig (talk) 13:56, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or merge to Sandra Brown (campaigner). 3rd party references show a directory link (ref #1) - not a reliable source and a BBC article (ref #2) on Brown. For WP:ORG, the organization itself must be notable, not just mentioned in passing in a story about the founder. (GregJackP (talk) 14:29, 27 March 2010 (UTC))[reply]
- Merge and Redirect to Sandra Brown (campaigner). I can't find any coverage that is neither a directory listing nor about its founder (who most certainly does meet notability), and I can't see any scope to expand this beyond the current stub. Should someone find more encyclopaedic information to put into the article, then there might be a case for a stand-alone article. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:33, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I have tagged this article for rescue. SilverserenC 07:55, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I found some other sources that dealt more firmly with the organization rather than the organizer. I think there's enough here for the article to be notable apart from Sandra Brown. SilverserenC 07:55, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge. The sources don't amount to significant coverage in reliable sources. With that bar not crossed, there is not enough here to support a verified article. Merge what can be verified to Sandra Brown (campaigner). --Mkativerata (talk) 23:19, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
