Fails WP:GNG; media reports about the organisation are trivial. RaviC ( talk) 00:00, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
Keep for now.
Disagree with the characterization of media reports as trivial.
While some of the reports are incidental mentions (e.g. "they unfurled this banner" within news coverage of the
People's Vote March) there are also other sources, including citations already included such as [
1], [
4] that are focused specifically on the group and its activities, including (anonymously) interviewing and profiling the members, discussing their motivations, and providing more background on the genesis of the campaign. These are not mere passing mentions. Furthermore there exist multiple corroborating reports from independent sources, several of which are reputable mainstream news outlets, and includes international coverage e.g.
NPR,
Irish News.
Although the group are on hiatus as of 16 Apr 2019, it seems they are planning to resume activities in the future. With the Brexit situation still ongoing and evolving, I'd like to echo some of the sentiments from
here and suggest to hold off for now, wait for current events play out, let the dust settle, and then reconsider if this should be kept or merged with
this one or some other appropriate article. —
