This article has been tagged with unresolved referencing issues for 11 years. I think it's now time to evaluate it for deletion.

The article currently has one reference. I've scanned Google News, Google Books, JSTOR, and newspapers.com and can only find one additional reference in WP:RS, here [1] where it's mentioned in one sentence as the organizer of a conference.

It notes some WP:N "advisors," however, gives no source to WP:V if they really are "advisors" and that probably doesn't matter anyway due to WP:NOTINHERITED.

It's fashionable nowadays to start "think tanks" that are basically blogs or white paper publishing platforms and this appears to be one of those. (Insofar as it's something like that, it seems to be fine and might even be WP:RS, but that's separate from question of its N.) Its Form 990 [2] indicates it has a single employee who appears to be a grad student at Stony Brook University. Chetsford (talk) 02:40, 17 March 2024 (UTC); edited 06:09, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
