Redress (charitable organisation)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non notable charity. No reliable sources cited. Some of the page appears to have come from an account with a conflict of interest. Prod removed by page creator without comment, article has stood with a notability tag for over a week. J Milburn (talk) 13:06, 22 August 2008 (UTC) I created this article when I saw the organisation mentioned in the Torture article. I had not heard of them before but referenced their aims and details from their website which is given as a link. I have no conflict of interest, although they may have subsequently edited the article, most of these have been reverted. I cannot see the problem - regarding notability- they are supported by the UN, Oxfam and other emininent bodies and undertake extensive casework regarding torture survivors and are invoved with sponsoring a parliamentary bill. Many torture survivors would be interested in such a service which is not, to my knowledge provided elsewhere, especially not by the British Government, which supports the rioght of Saudi Arabia to torture its citizens even when innocent- see reference from

 * Keep While not a maor player this appears to be a serious and dedicated organisation; which seems to be growing. Arnoutf (talk) 17:05, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not doubt the intentions of the organisation, only their notability. If they have not been covered by reliable sources, it is not our place to write about them. J Milburn (talk) 20:17, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added links to the charity commission data and 2007 report lots of ghits including a mention in a UK parliament House of Lords appeal document which gives them some notability. Article just needs a tidy up. MilborneOne (talk) 20:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
