The result was delete. While a valid ATD, it is unclear whether a redirect to Scarisbrick would be helpful, so i have not created one. Star  Mississippi  15:34, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Life (UK organisation)

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

This page subsisted on the organisation's website. I trimmed it back to its secondary sources. Alas, no significant depth, just significant rs dearth. It appears the rs' cover the organisation's various controversies but the coverage doesn't feature this page's subject. There's a little more sig cov surrounding the Tampon tax controversy but to spin it into anything more than a stub would involve barrel scraping.

 * Delete and redirect to Jack Scarisbrick - I can't find anything significant about the organisation which isn't primarily about the founders. I think it would be reasonable to have most of what is currently on the page in a section there. JMWt (talk) 19:13, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep - Meets (now) WP:ORG. I have added some more material (interestingly including a couple of very recent academic books) and there is now sufficient independent RS material to meet WP:GNG. Watch out for WP:GOOGLEONLY - relevant material is not easy to find when searching for "Life" gets rather a lot of hits! Springnuts (talk) 22:44, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Could you post a link to the sig cov regarding Life and the Tampon Tax controversy, please? I couldn't find anything. Springnuts (talk) 09:50, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * comment It's not really significant coverage. If anything, they're an extra in story about how the UK government allocated the funds. I got these results by putting "Life" + Tampon Tax site:theguardian.com into Google. So do you think this subject is broad enough for the three pages it currently occupies? Life (UK organisation), Jack Scarisbrick, Nuala Scarisbrick. I'll vote keep if you can convince me it has enough GNG to stand as a separate subject to its founders.Eichhornia Crassipes (talk) 12:43, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Agreed, what comes up here is a mere passing mention. Well, maybe a little more, but not significant. Springnuts (talk) 23:25, 10 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I think the article overstates the importance of the Scarisbricks; relying on the friendly but uncritical (in the academic sense) Tablet source to support crediting them as “the” founders, instead of two leading members of the breakaway SPUC group which set Life up. When not working from a phone screen, I’ll try to rebalance so that Life is properly situated where the more academic sources place it, in the overall anti abortion movement generally and as a SPUC breakaway in particular.

 * oh, in respect of the Scarisbricks, my initial guess is that he is probably notable, she probably is not notable. In our terms of course: all people are notable as people. But I have not searched for the sources. Were are all the articles created at the same time? Springnuts (talk) 08:03, 13 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete None of the references meet WP:NORG criteria for establishing notability, none contain in-depth "Independent Content" as required, most are passing mentions or quotes.  HighKing++ 19:32, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per HighKing – no substantial coverage with roots. Notability is entirely dependent on the founders, and as we know, notability is not inherited.. Stifle (talk) 11:04, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
