I speedied this as "g11" which was declined by Espresso Addict. In its current form, the page does not serve an encyclopedic purpose and rather serves to make the organization well-known. I did hear of this in CBC Marketplace on YouTube and probably would say that it probably does meet notability guidelines, but it needs expansion and a fundamental rewrite to be fully encyclopedic. It would be best to delete the page and start over. Aasim (talk) 04:56, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, improve. There's a lot of hits in Google (~230k) and Google's news coverage, many looked trivial but the organisation appears very likely to be notable. I'm not sure that the current article is quite so poor as to require deleting and restarting, and there is a lot more in the history (started 2006) that might be rescued.

Weak delete. I'm having a real hard time finding in-depth coverage about it, with one exception. It is frequently quoted in news media, but I don't see much description about the organization itself. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 16:44, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
