Does not seem to cross the notability threshold per WP:NORG – the page reads like an advertisement and mostly describes what the organisation intends to do. Yet, their actual achievement seems to be a campaign whose website [1] is currently dead. They also have scored one TED talk, one TV interview, and two articles in The Logical Indian and Youth Ki Awaaz, both generally considered WP:UNRELIABLE. The remaining references are to YouTube and Twitter. The organisation's most recent Facebook post is from July 2021,[2] their tweets have also been rather sparse.[3]

According to Indian Government data, Young India Foundation was registered only in 2019.[4]

Overall, despite the current promotional language, I see little about this organisation suitable for an encyclopaedic article. — kashmīrī ^TALK 09:51, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to clarify that the website of the Why 25 campaign is still up. I don't understand how an official TED Talk alongside multiple TEDx talks is unworthy of notability for the user and their work. YIF's work is far different than any other organization as it helps young people from independent backgrounds be elected to office.

The Hindu has also covered Young India Foundation and the work they do for India's young.

The remaining references are of interviews that are on Youtube. Surjanpatarkar (talk) 06:45, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, YIF's Instagram presence is quite active. Surjanpatarkar (talk) 06:46, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:ORGCRIT: A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

A "shared" article in The Hindu plus (scant) social media activity doesn't really cut it.

The three latest Instagram posts are from 13th May, 21st April and 22nd January. Less than one post a month!

The Why25 web page is a section of the main organisational website, not an additional online presence.

In short, there's not only lack of coverage in independent sources (barring a single article in The Hindu) – there's little in terms of evidence of any activity by the organisation. — kashmīrī ^TALK 08:09, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete agree with nom. The single Hindu article isn't enough for notability. Hemantha (talk) 07:30, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
