The article is almost entirely self-promotional in nature, and every single (incorrectly-formatted) citation outside the criticism section. It reads like an advertisement. This problem is compounded by the fact that the page has been heavily edited by users User:DrinkWise Australia and User:DWACEO232, both of whom obviously seem to be associated with the subject.

- Weak keep Google Book search shows a number of hits, which for a non-profit suggest likely notability (coverage by media). Selfpromotion is not a valid reason for deletion (but for tagging the article with COI/etc. templates). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:46, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- Weak keep I completely agree with Piotrus, marginally meets notability. Maintenance tags are sufficient to handle promotional issues. Ireneshih (talk) 07:55, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

- Keep. The article needs a major rewrite, but the subject is sufficiently notable, even if the only good references to that are criticisms. Essentially it needs to be rewritten as "This organisation, which does this, and is best known for criticisms from...". But it still deserves an article.Mark Marathon (talk) 03:20, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
