Non-notable website/blog-type thing. No substantial references to reliable sources indicate that this isn't a notable organization per WP:N, WP:WEB or WP:CORP. Hunting through google news turns up an occasional mention here or there, but most of it is unrelated to this organization. Jayron32 19:34, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - No, I think that SpinWatch is notable. It has had an influence on the debates over Genetic Modification and the Nuclear industry in Britain. Jane Bowen (talk) 13:33, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - Fails WP:N, WP:ORG. No significant coverage in independent reliable secondary sources to meet notability standards. 92.30.124.25 (talk) 20:10, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:55, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Sourced to itself and a non-notable paywall site. When it is mentioned in real sources like the Guardian, it is only in a "according to a SpinWatch report..." manner, which doesn't cut it for WP:N. Tarc (talk) 14:11, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
