Statement about "no independent sources" is factually inaccurate, the page includes references from: IndexOnCensorship, the British Parliament website, Daventry Express, Socialists for a Republic, CompanyCheck, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjsa ( talk • contribs) 17:46, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
I have also added sources from The Independent, The Guardian and UTV Media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjsa ( talk • contribs) 18:18, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
A political organisation, that has been recognised as having a legitimate voice by Parliamentary committees and leading academics (despite only being recently formed), should have an article here; even if you disagree with their views. As Graham Allen MP ( Political and Constitutional Reform Committee chair) and Julian Huppert MP ( Political and Constitutional Reform Committee member) have contributed to the Foundation it is vital that this article stays to help those studying British constitutional reforms can understand their opinions, pubished by the Foundation, preceding them. Disagreement with political views is no reason to strip future researchers to access to a critical resource about the Foundation. Also it is important as they are tied into sister organisations Republic and Unlock Democracy.
I should also note that the PROD Sammy1339 referred to was added by them (soon after the article was originally created).
It is worth noting that compared to similar organisations on Wikipedia this article is well referenced. The article on Unlock Democracy which is the largest pro-democracy group in the UK has 3 references, this article has 15. The quality of references is largely similar to that of Quilliam Foundation, it clearly isn't fair to remove this article; especially on the basis of it's references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JayDaug ( talk • contribs) 21:21, 6 December 2014 (UTC) — JayDaug ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
To those of us in the Electoral Reform Society and the British constitutional reform sector the Reform Foundation is quite well known; I think the reason some people have critised some other articles for not being sufficiently referenced (I.e. Unlock Democracy, Electoral Reform Society) is they fail to understand that this remains a predominantly offline sector (due to average age of members, etc.) For an article in this sector it is remarkably well referenced. It may not be perfect, but I think it's beneficial for us to have it rather than take it away. Thanks.

The Daventry Express article is clearly signed at the bottom as being from "Dr Ken Ritchie, Chairman, The Reform Foundation, Barby". Vrac was wrong in this case, the Foundation is mentioned.
