Does not meet WP:ORGCRITE. Independent coverage of the organization is extremely fleeting, with virtually no coverage outside of unbylined pieces that serve as vehicles for the organization's founders and supporters to talk about themselves (e.g. [1], [2]). Searching online lead me to more of the same kind of uncritical, fleeting coverage. Searching on Scholar, I found brief critical coverage in a source of dubious reliability ( [3]) and articles by individuals affiliated with the organization, but nothing that simultaneously meets the criteria of independence and significance. signed, Rosguill talk 18:44, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

- I don't think these add up to NCORP:
-
Rainn Wilson changes his name... - includes no information about the subject other than
On behalf of environmental advocacy group Arctic Basecamp, "The Office" star posted a video discussing the worldwide impacts of weather shifts in the Arctic.
- Inside Davos summit's Arctic basecamp This one does begin to count towards NCORP, but is light on independent analysis.
- A Rolling Stone Roundtable with the youth climate activists... Rolling Stone is generally unreliable for political topics WP:ROLLINGSTONEPOLITICS. Beyond that, the piece is also light on independent analysis.
-
We cozy up like little sardines... - borderline in terms of whether it has enough independent analysis to contribute towards notability, non-attributed text about the subject is limited to
Six global youth climate delegates have chosen to stay at Arctic Basecamp in Davos this year, with two more youth volunteers set to help the crew with logistics. Basecamp is a unique science-solution outreach platform pushing for urgent action on climate change from political and business leaders.

- I'm still on the fence at the moment. Vice is probably one of the better ones so far, so thanks to SailingInABathTub for providing it, but Bloomberg is substantially composed of quotes. Whiteman can likely qualify under PROF though. Alpha3031 ( t • c) 09:12, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
