Progressive Policies Forum

This article relates to a very specific set of events related to Peter Hain in 2008. As far as I can tell from researching this article, this "organisation" was never really a working think-tank and even if it was I can't establish any notability. The article on Peter Hain has a section that mentions the Progressive Policies Forum. That seems sufficient to me. Therefore I nominate this article for deletion.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep or Merge to Peter Hain. This "think tank" caused Peter Hain.  There is, in fact, copious sourcing although it requires searches focused on 2007-08.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:47, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Peter Hain -- a plausible search term but not notable independently of the scandal. Anything useful can be picked up from the article history. I don't see a need for a "merge" outcome as the article is not well sourced. A redirect would be more straightforward. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:13, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
