The coverage about this organization is mostly trivial or routine quotes and mentions. In a thorough WP:BEFORE done by me, which included searches in newspaper archives, books, and journals, only mentions were found, like trivial mentions related to an event, Killing of Brianna Ghey, from their spokesperson, and likewise mentions after an unfortunate event, the suicide of Alice Litman. Others are mentions quoting their researcher, Mallory Moore, after an event such as Texas shooting. So, all of them are either statements from the organization (as an advocacy group) after an event, or trivial mentions defining them as an advocacy group in one sentence. This is nothing close to WP:ORGDEPTH.
This lack of coverage is also reflected in the article itself. WP:REFBOMBING has been used in the introductory sentence, citing references that are just mentioning the organization. Ref 8 from Pink News is a brief one-sentence that has been written in this article. Lastly, the mission statement is copied and cited with their website. It is too early to write an article about them as they clearly fail WP:GNG and WP:NORG. Suitskvarts (talk) 16:32, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. I did my own web-search but found nothing except for more brief mentions and/or primary sources. KhinMoTi (talk) 08:33, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. I spent some time searching around, but found nothing significant. Fails WP:SIGCOV. US-Verified (talk) 15:01, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: the sources cited do not indicate any in-depth coverage of this organization, not even substantial mentions. Therefore it fails WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV, WP:ORG, WP:NCORP. // MitYehor (talk) 06:15, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per above. Given that there are quite a few incoming links, most of them from where the organisation has been quoted, redirection would be preferable to deletion if there is a suitable target, but there doesn't appear to be one. The closest to significant coverage I found was at Shash Appan who is the only one of the five key people listed in the infobox to have an article, but even that is less than a single sentence saying she serves as a director.
