Carousel (charity)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I'm struggling to see this charity's notability. There's lots of loose connections with notable people or other entities that may be notable (WP:INHERITED!) but I can't see how the charity itself is notable. Cited sources are either from the charity itself, are trivial mentions of the charity, or cover entities the charity is related to (and therefore the notability – if any – would lie with the other body and not with the charity).

 * With sadness, I can't really see a good reason to keep a relatively small local charity. The page offers little in terms of notability and I'm not sure the sources exist. Delete JMWt (talk) 10:03, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Carousel is much more notable than a local charity. They stage the world's leading disability film festival, an international event which has had lots of mainstream coverage since the page was last updated. See 'Discover the learning disability film festival changing disabled representation' in Little white Lies 30 March 2022 or this piece in The Guardian. Carousel Radio has also won a gold in the British Podcasts Awards Cephascrispus (talk) Cephascrispus (talk) 09:05, 18 October 2022 (UTC)08:19, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Cephascrispus. Having looked at those sources, it doesn't look like the Little White Lies article mentions Carousel at all. The Guardian piece does, although it's a passing mention when talking about the Oska Bright film festival. This might mean the film festival itself is notable, but does not show that the charity is notable per our notability guidelines – it simply shows the charity exists.
