May be a scam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FseTO9PsHdc Doesnt appear to exist as an organisation any more, though the walks mentioned do seem to have happened. Rathfelder (talk) 21:29, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep Whether its a scam or not IDC< but I think it passes the GNG per multiple news articles.L3X1 Happy2018! (distænt write)  17:58, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete -- does not meet WP:NORG; coverage is passing mentions or self-promotion. The coverage includes: KQED-Dec 14, 2016: "Clark Stuart and his Global Trident companies were prominently affiliated with a now-shuttered national nonprofit, Stop Child Trafficking Now, which came under scrutiny for massive fundraising and large payments to Stuart's private companies, with few results. But Clark Stuart continued to snag business ..." Not sufficient for an encyclopedia entry. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:22, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - per extensive coverage indeed. BabbaQ (talk) 08:52, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails GNG and WP:NORG. Refbombing to show notability. A quick look found three of the links are dead and one is to a general site that has nothing to do with the subject. The name existed but I cannot find anything current or anything past the 2011 controversey. Not enough notability to even finish (in detail) an article because there is a lack of significant coverage which is the scam part. Otr500 (talk) 08:18, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Probably keep. This outfit is now defunct, it didn't last long, and principals may have been keeping some or more of the funds they raised for themselves. Nevertheless, SCTN got quite a lot of coverage in 2009-10, articles nationwide covering fundraising marches in many cities, and coverage of efforts at raising money and recruit staff on a program of tracking down child traffickers to turn them in for prosecution - no evidence that they accomplished much more than fundraising and getting reporters to cover them.  But WP:SIGCOV coverage does exist. Plus WP:HEYMANN I added a bit of what's out there to the page.  E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:11, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Much improved. Happy to withdraw the suggestion that it should be deleted. Rathfelder (talk) 10:26, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
