WellChild

borderline notable at best and promotional. Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism is an equally good reason. Once we become a vehicle for promotion, we're useless as an encycopedia  DGG ( talk ) 06:31, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as this is also questionably notable for the applicable notability, with no better convincing signs.  SwisterTwister   talk  16:12, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - If this article is deleted then so must the majority of articles listed under 'Children's charities based in the United kingdom' category. There are charities far less notable listed here and whose pages are far more promotional in content. There are thousands more like this for every country and charity type. Deletion would therefore betray a clear inconsistency in standards. WellChild is an established and important non-profit organisation in the UK with Royal Patronage, which I believe gives it genuine notability. JAM2010 (talk) 22:09, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - The charity and it's award ceremony has received national press coverage in a range of newspapers and television outlets, has royal patronage, and is known and operates nationally. Therefore, complies with WP:NONPROFIT. I would disagree that the article is clearly promotional - though admittedly could probably do with a clean up and better sources, at most.
