EURACTIV

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Importance of this organization is unclear and doesn't seem to be substantiated by reliable sources per WP:NWEB or other relevant notable guideline. The only really strong independent source in the article (niemanlab.org) suggests that they basically translate news from other outlets, this is not clearly what a Wikipedia article is for, vice a notable newspaper or online publication. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:44, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep EURACTIV is a vital independent news source for the European Union supported by major publications throughout Europe. ScotKreek (talk) 11:58, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, we know they say they are vital and stuff, but are they? Who says so? ☆ Bri (talk) 01:58, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Note By the sheer volume of its partnership with other MSM's and its own original content, I'm sure everyone here can excuse my thinking that this proposed deletion was some kind of joke--after all, even the most minimal of research shows who they are. (EURACTIV.com with AFP and Reuters) (By Sam Morgan | EURACTIV.com) (By Samuel White | EURACTIV.com) (and here's a ton more too) Thanks, and no offense meant either.

 * No joke, sorry. What you"ve given there are a bunch of stories published by Euractiv. By definition they are not independent RSes, which is exact what the article is lacking. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:25, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
