Fails WP:N significantly.

• Delete as per nom. Minimal article with zero references. Teraplane (talk) 00:25, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep. Notability is based on the presence of sources. This one looks like there are more sources available based on a quick look I did. I added two of them. Graywalls (talk) 07:05, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Graywalls: Would you be able to provide any of those sources that directly deal with Cherish Life here? That Guardian article you added is the only HQRS that I've come across, and only deals with a single event; there's no sustained or ongoing notability.

@ItsPugle:, https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Surprise_Party/QVi9DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22cherish+life%22+oldest&pg=PT183&printsec=frontcover this one says it's the oldest anti-abortion lobby group in Australia. I'm suggesting it could be notable enough, but I don't feel confident to support a strong keep. Graywalls (talk) 12:14, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Graywalls: Eh, while I guess that it gives Cherish Life very very marginal significance, I don't think it properly covers GNG. Even just looking at that extract, Cherish Life's significance was limited to one campaign and is phrased more within the people involved than the organisation itself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ItsPugle (please ping on reply) 09:52, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Graywalls as it is the oldest anti-abortion organization in the area.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 03:23, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - there are multiple references here and on Google Scholar. As much as I dislike the controversy surrounding these debates, its a Keep. --Whiteguru (talk) 12:47, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Whiteguru: Please see my comment about passing mentions not meeting the threshold. None of the results on the first page of your custom search or Google Scholar actually discuss Cherish Life Queensland, only give them as passing mentions (For example, this QUT event ad is listed on Google Scholar because of this: Euthanasia and assisted suicide have been the subject of much moral, religious, philosophical, legal and human rights debate in Australia. This event will explore the euthanasia debate with expert speakers including Dr David Swanton (Exit International Chapter Coordinator and Director of Ethical Rights), Professor Colleen Cartwright (Principal Director of Cartwright Consulting and Emeritus Professor at Southern Cross University), Julie Borger (President of Cherish Life Queensland), Sharon Tregoning (Vice President of Dying With Dignity Queensland), Dr Maureen Mitchell (Palliative Care Specialist at The Wesley Hospital) and The Reverend Canon Richard Tutin (General Secretary of Queensland Churches Together) etc) ItsPugle (please ping on reply) 08:04, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The quote should be seen as a reference to a work; one that appears to be inherently at peer-reviewed status given that it was part of a lecture event. As such the lecture is one item towards GNG.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 20:26, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
