Article, created by an apparent employee of the subject, describes an organization that fails the notability requirements of WP:GNG. While a variety of prominent people appear to have lent their name to the enterprise as "advisors", notability is not inherited and there is a marked scarcity of 3d party reliable sources discussing this organization or its work.

Weak keep Borderline case, benefit of the doubt. Of the references, two wp:notability-suitable ones have some small/medium coverage of them. Several others mention them. North8000 (talk) 14:01, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep without prejudice This does look to be quite a borderline case, but I think the benefit of the doubt should go to keeping the article; perhaps closing without prejudice to re-nominating in a month or so for re-assessment? As North8000 says at least two of the sources are reliable to do show notability to an extent, and there the Institute is mentioned in others.
