I can find evidence of notability , not any references to it except in works they have themselves published. DGG ( talk ) 21:02, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I located various references to the Foundation's work, including the Washington Post (2008) and Rocky Mountain News (2006), both sceptical about "critical thinking" (and both needing a Highbeam subscription to read). The same search also turned up various articles in education journals quoting the Foundation's publications. AllyD (talk) 08:26, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:ORG for lack of significant (or pretty much any) coverage by Independent Reliable Sources. Searching finds mainly self-published material or references to "the foundation for critical thinking" in lower case. The same seems to be true of the sister organization Center for Critical Thinking (which claims affiliation with Sonoma State University - maybe we should consider a merge if that affiliation is confirmed). --MelanieN (talk) 23:10, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
