- Delete - insufficient information about the organisation, scholars, research, policy intiatives. Fails notability. --Whiteguru (talk) 23:44, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Defunct organization, but there is a lot of source material out there [1], none of which is currently in the article. That could be fixed. An interesting article could certainly be written about this "foundation" and its close/controversial association with Newt Gingrich ("the Progress and Freedom Foundation, a research organization closely allied with the incoming House Speaker" --New York Times 1995). Could be redirected to Newt Gingrich (where it is currently not mentioned) but I think it would be more valuable to keep and rewrite the article. If the result is "keep", I will undertake the updating and rewriting. --MelanieN (talk) 00:16, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, redirect to Newt Gingrich which is the same as delete. Artem Karimov (talk) 14:10, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Keep and expand. This was a notable organization providing cover for Speaker Gingrich's views, and also if I remember correctly, weighed in on early Internet policy. Jonathanwallace (talk) 09:55, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
