Activate (organisation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete - no notability, not endorsed by Conservative Party (UK) so just a private company Theandastorm (talk) 08:47, 6 April 2018 (UTC) correction, Activate is not a private company as in it is not registered with Company House.


 * Keep - even a cursory look at the sources shows that there is significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources, so the group easily meets the relevant notability guideline. --bonadea contributions talk 09:44, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:SUSTAINED. Almost all coverage is from August and September 2017. From WP:SUSTAINED: Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability.. This group isn't notable enough for a permanent encyclopedia entry. Ralbegen (talk) 08:37, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Recent coverage including the Vice article listed below shows that the group has received something approaching sustained coverage, at least since its inception. Whilst remaining sceptical of the long-term notability of this group, it should stay for the time being. In time it will be clear whether these are brief bursts of coverage or whether these are part of sustained coverage over a longer period of time. Ralbegen (talk) 19:08, 9 April 2018 (UTC)


 * keep The launch of this unofficial online voice for British Conservative Party activist was covered by the British press in Aug. 2017 hereThe Times Tory rival for Momentum is ridiculed over £500 fee], here: The Independent, Activate – a youth group that young people can finally get gassed about, and other national dailies.  Articles in The Guardian and The Independent cited on the page, more available in   New Statesman Sept. 2017 The short life and brutal death of Activate, the Tory Momentum.  A few dozen articles in a simple gNews search, almost all from  Sept. 2017 when the fledgling Conservative outfit embarrassed itself.  Org.'s twitter account is still active.   I don't see a plausible redirect.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:38, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - Even today this organisation was mentioned by major media outlets https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/7xde7g/we-snuck-into-the-tory-momentum-re-launch-party. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.198.249 (talk) 18:12, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
