Fails to meet WP:NORG. No in-depth coverage exists from searches in Google, Google Books, Google News or Google News Archive. Given sources are either WP:PRIMARY or unrelated to the subject. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:22, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete or redirect: Searches find brief mentions of DTAS in respect of a variety of local projects in Bathgate, Cumnock, Hallglen, Newstead, etc., and in evidence to a Parliamentary Committee, but I have to agree with the nominator that the coverage about DTAS itself needed to establish WP:NORG notability is lacking. It is mentioned on the Local People Leading, so a redirect could be appropriate? (That said, the LPL page itself is dubious as notable in its own right.) AllyD (talk) 11:51, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree that LPL is also of questionable notability. When I get time I will search for sources on it, but if nothing substantial comes up, it will be next for AfD. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:22, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * The umbrella organisations such as these exist but tend not to attract the depth of coverage needed here. I am inclined to think that it would be better to focus on an article about the Development Trust phenonenon, for which such associations and projects provide examples (probably bedded in the Development trust article), but even that would need strong references to published assessments which I am struggling to find.
