Delete I cannot find any secondary sources on this organization. Above are a passing mention in the BBC article and the ASU article, the Guardian article is written by a a scientific adviser for FoAM Kernow, but not about Foam. Description as "de facto new-media think tank" doesn't make sense. Neither does "In 2001, FoAM became an independent, distributed entity with cells in Brussels and Amsterdam." Fails
WP:GNG.

Delete. The sources cited in the article aren't independent, and I agree with WAU that the ones mentioned above don't provide enough significant coverage to contribute toward notability. Searching is difficult since "foam" is such a common word, but my queries did not identify enough sourcing to meet
WP:NORG. There's a bit of coverage
here, but it is of uncertain
independence (most of the content seems to come from an interview with the group's founder) and, in any event, can't push the organization over the notability threshold on its own.
