From the recent Prod placed on this article by Velella: "Non notable organisation. It has been tagged as requiring references for many months without anything forthcoming. Searches yield very little and nothing that speaks to notability. This appears to be a strangely reclusive think tank. Fails WP:GNG. If the contribution history had been shorter, this would qualify for speedy deletion as a non notable organisation." Prod was subsequently removed by IP editor closely-associated with article subject. | Uncle Milty | talk | 17:33, 27 June 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - seriously unbalanced article without any significant independent sources. Neither political affiliations or leanings have been disclosed nor any examples of its work. It is possibly either a very small organisation trying to fit into larger shoes or an organisation trying to gain respectability from a presence on Wikipedia. All the significant editing has been done by editors with strong COI - almost certainly employees or agents of the organisation.
