Keep. Recent coverage underscores its prominence:

– Matters India: "The World Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) will confer the certificate of Merit Award on Udayani, a Jesuit-run social action center in Kolkata." (February 18, 2018)

– The Herald.

– Asia News. Jzsj (talk) 14:00, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The first one maybe useable although I do not know the value of the award. The two others are the usual related sources and/or passing mentions. The Banner talk 14:37, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The CSR Award is run by one person who also likes to publish warnings about his past employees. It's a bogus award with no credibility.96.127.243.251 (talk) 19:21, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete another promotional article created from passing mentions cobbled together to create the semblance of notability. The article has been created on the premise that any source that mentions the four word phrase "Udayani Social Action Forum" is a good source, which entirely ignores the concept of independent, reliable in-depth reporting. For example, if you check the source titled " "India: Statement On West Bengal Tripartite Wage Agreement In Tea Industry - Europe Solidaire Sans Frontières", what you will find is at the end of the article there is a long list of over 40 signatories to the article (which is actually a political letter) that includes the Udanyi Social Action Forum:

*Shramajivi Samanvay Committee, West Bengal
*TUCI West Bengal State Committee
*Udayani Social Action Forum, West Bengal
*Uttar Bango Bon-Jon Shromojivi Manch, West Bengal
*Vadodara Kamdar Union, Gujarat

That source is therefore not independent, not published by a reliable publication, and not in-depth. After checking half the sources, and finding that are RS, I have to say delete. 96.127.243.251 (talk) 19:09, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- In principle, a church outreach programme that is larger than a single church should in principle be notable. The complaints of the anonymous IP amount to a complaint that one of the sources relates to being one of a number of people signing a report or petition. I agree that would not make them notable, but that does not affect the principle. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:16, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Peterkingiron, I'm a native in the state of their operation.Find me at-least two (even one??) sources, covering their activities significantly. ∯WBG^converse 09:46, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Fails WP:SIGCOV. Mentions are weak when it comes to WP:INDEPTH. I agree with IP. Accesscrawl (talk) 06:23, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I've added several references to the article that show the broad scope and coverage of its actions. Jzsj (talk) 07:02, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, they show that the organisation is active and attends trainings. It adds nothing to their notability. The Banner talk 10:07, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete-Hmm.....This supposedly exists and has moderate amounts of financial transactions.The world-CSR-Award can be charitably described as spam and the same comments apply to the media-unit that reported it.Nothing in Bengali sources save one hit which is a two line clipping, devoted to them about theirs'organising a show.∯WBG^converse 09:45, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
