Our Republic (Scotland)

Fails WP:GNG - no significant coverage, no real proof that we actually have a 'thing' here, sources cited do not add to any argument of notability for the 'Our Republic' movement or its impact or activism. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:39, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment I'll need time to comment on notability, but can see it does exist: https://www.thenational.scot/news/20176454.edinburgh-rally-offer-republican-alternative-jubilee-scotland/ CT55555 (talk) 15:52, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

 * My early analysis (I may refine this later) is that they exist, but are not notable. CT55555 (talk) 16:02, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The sources provided do not establish notability or cover the organisation sufficiently to meet WP:GNG. Coldupnorth (talk) 11:00, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep The organisation has already been covered in the press, and may yet be covered further.-TrottieTrue (talk) 13:48, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - While I have doubts about the notability of the organisation itself to merit a full article, I wonder if just as there is a Republicanism in the United Kingdom, the general topic of Republicanism in Scotland (which as concept has a much longer history) might be notable enough for its own article? Dunarc (talk) 22:38, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment - If there's any consensus behind this approach I think it's an acceptable compromise (though I wouldn't have set up the article if I didn't think it was worthwhile) and would be happy to help flesh out the wider Republicanism in Scotland article. I think it's distinct enough from the wider Republicanism in the United Kingdom article to potentially merit an entry in its own right. TrinePGTL (talk) 10:35, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
