Non-notable pressure group; only RS coverage was about the event of its founding, which are only routine coverage and so do not pass the criterion of significant coverage.

Conservative cabinet minister support is enough to warrant significant coverage as required by Wikipedia

Could you explain what you mean by "Conservative cabinet minister support is enough to warrant significant coverage"? The only relevant guidelines as far as I can tell are
WP:N and
WP:ORG, neither of which relate to Conservative cabinet minister support, which isn't really "coverage".— Preceding

Sure thing
Ralbegen, it means that it has governmental authority if it is an active Prganisation set up by a cabinet minister and endorsed by them (which
CV is!). Hope that helps. (

Thank you for your message @
Ralbegen:. We should keep this article because of its notability, which does not stem per se from cabinet authority but also from the fact that, as the article does say and give evidence by citations/references (#8) for, Conservative Voice has a "follower base of just under 10,000". I think this is ample (though not all) evidence why this article fulfills the
notability criterion on
Wikipedia.— Preceding

According to
WP:ORG, the only relevant notability guideline that considers size: "The organization’s longevity, size of membership, major achievements, prominent scandals, or other factors specific to the organization should be considered to the extent that these factors have been reported by independent sources". Size is not sufficient, and the source used here is not independent. And again: support from cabinet ministers is
not inherited.

Weak delete, as the existence of the group doesn't automatically confer notability. Neither, despite a rather hopeful (if non-policy-based) claim to the contrary, does the fact that cabinet ministers support the group.

Keep. The ariticle/organization has reliable sources such a The Telegraph[1] and The Independent[2]. In addition, right-wing political parties are rapidly gaining more and more power in Europe so it would be shortsighted to delete this article.

The Telegraph and the Independent are reliable soruces, but I don't think that these articles constitute significant coverage, as rquired by
WP:N and
WP:ORG. From
WP:ORG, these articles both seem to be largely based on press releases and so don't contribute towards notability. Beside that, routine reporting [...] like announcmenets [...] is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia per
WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Separately, notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time per
WP:SUSTAINED. These articles do not demonstrate sustained attention, and when I looked for more sources to do so I couldn't find anything more than passing mentions.

Notability is
not inherited. Explicitly: An organization is not notable merely because a notable person or event was associated with it. Size is also insufficient for notability without substantial coverage per
WP:CLUB.

Merge and Redirect to the
Conservative Party (UK) - the giveaway is in the title. Obviously exists and is sourced as such but it falls under the umbrella of the main political party and isn't important enough for a stand alone article.

Delete. Vote changed to delete. As noted WP:Sustained isn't satisfied, the group will just disappear and another will be created.

@
Carrite: The two sources in the article that could contribute towards GNG aren't sufficient, because the coverage isn't
WP:SUSTAINED. They're both about the founding of the group. I think that the lack of sufficiency of the articles in the Independent and the Telegraph to meet the GNG is also highlighted by how little of the content can be drawn from them, and how much of the article has to be drawn from non-reliable, non-independent and primary sources.

Delete - As noted above, no
WP:LASTING coverage and thus no notability. Only coverage appears to be from when it was founded in 2012; I can't find anything else on it since.

Keep Featured in multiple reliable sources, with high-profile names. It is a borderline case though as most sources seemed too be related to the launch of the group. — Preceding
