Non-notable per WP:ORG and WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE search turned up the same self-promotion of the three sources currently cited, mostly reposts of a "Force for Cybersecurity" manifesto, which in the initial creation had a dozen copies cited on various blogs masquerading as newspapers. It's a recently created group, and may have only one member, as "Hacktivist Vanguard" is credited only as the cinematographer of several films on its IMDb entry. The article is a near copy of Draft:Hacktivist Vanguard, created by two other SPAs. An IP editor tried to credit the group as "hacker group" in the cast sections of the two film articles linked in the See also section, but I can find no evidence of any film roles for this "group" online. It all reads like a recruitment page for a new hacktivist group. Wikishovel ( talk) 07:21, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - current sources are blog/PR. Was not able to find anything reliable; everything just seems to be user-created promotional materia. Sam Kuru (talk) 15:27, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
