The Drake Foundation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article PRODded with reason "Only in-passing mentions of foundation in third-party sources listed, no in-depth coverage. Does not meet WP:NORG or WP:GNG. (Note that some references do not mention this foundation.)" Article dePRODded by article creator (SPA and likely COI editor; given that this was their first edit, I would not be surprised if this was a case of undisclosed paid editing) after addition of more in-passing mentions. Most of the references mention the Foundation just once ("funded by the Drake Foundation"), none of them give any other info beyond "UK based non-profit" in a few of them. PROD reason still stands, hence: delete. Randykitty (talk) 09:27, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm not going to speculate about the motives of anyone who contributed to the article; instead I'll simply note that the sources given all seem to be passing mentions, and that a very cursory Google News search I ran did not turn up any better sources. — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 17:47, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
