This has been tagged for years and years; it's little more than a directory-style entry with a history of COI edits and link spam. Nothing much can be found on this outfit, besides a few mentions in Amnesty International and HRW and, of course, press releases. The best thing I found was this, an *ahem* somewhat biased opinion piece that inflates the organization, in a non-notable publication which is spammed for in our article on a publishing outfit, Pulsamerica.

- Delete, the article does not meet WP:NGO. The organization is active on the international level, however I could not find "significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization." JimRenge ( talk) 20:44, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. They have been described as "One of the world's leading human rights groups" here, although I am not sure how reliable the source is (low key academic journal? But it's called ' News Weekly'... I can't find much about the author, 'Peter Westmore'). Whatever this is (an article or a news piece) I also failed to gain access to it. Other than that I see some mentions in passing, some citations to their work, and that's it. I couldn't find any discussion of the organizaton's history or significance, not even a sentence-long one, outside WP:PRIMARY sources. As such, it seems that this NGO fails WP:NORG/GNG requirement. PS. A bit more digging and I found the source I mentioned mirrored here, but it seems like a low key news piece in a minor Australian magazine. (Also, the article doesn't provide in-depth analysis of the organization outside a few superlatives, and quotes an otherwise unnamed "HRWF’s Internet consultant" a lot, which makes it not very independent (it's really is on the level of a rewritten press release, just from NGO, not the more common a for-profit spam variety). Anyway, I guess it is probably the best source we have, but still not enough in light of our source requirements. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:20, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
