Sufficiently lacks WP:SIGCOV altogether despite current grouping structure. Notability is not inherited from founders who do receive some local press coverage for interfamilial litigation over estates that mentions subject(s) in passing. All else is WP:ROUTINE for philanthropic organizations. SunnyLetO (talk) 18:02, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Conservatism, Organizations, Politics, and Pennsylvania. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:04, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Keep initially !voted for a delete, but some of the more critical coverage does in fact help to establish notability. Iljhgtn (talk) 00:47, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete the media coverage is not significant, with short occasional indirect mentions. --Cinder painter (talk) 09:58, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Not sure a proper WP:BEFORE was done here since the subject plainly passes WP:NORG. Beyond the SIGCOV already in the article ([1], [2], [3], [4]), there's independent WP:SIGCOV of these interconnected foundations in Jane Mayer's Dark Money, Kathleen Buechel's A Gift of Belief, Anne Southworth's Lawyers of the Right, and the reference work American Conservatism: An Encyclopedia. Because sources cover these as interconnected, it makes sense to cover them as a single article rather than separately. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:39, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting, could use a bit more consideration.

Comment, per @Dclemens1971 comment, the article is notable and passes WP:NORG with a closer evaluation of the sources. Iljhgtn (talk) 03:40, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
