Fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTNEWS. The article has been tagged for notability for a year now, which seems to be based only in a July 2021 Reuters article. Since then, there have not been any significant developments regarding the group (including the endorsement of UN resolutions), and as an unofficial group it lacks significance.

Keep: There seem to have been plenty of announcements and updates in 2022, including this secretary general message, and there are 7 Google scholar mentions now featuring the group's name. The last source already featured on the page is from March 2023. It's a little light on secondary news coverage, but it's an extant UN group with a large volume of mentions.

Keep. The fact that it is a grouping of states makes it a lot more significant than a grouping of individuals with the same amount of coverage would be. Also, none of the 20 member states are English-speaking, so it is likely that coverage is more extensive in those other languages. There is plenty of activity at https://www.gof-uncharter.org/blank-1 that is likely to have received press coverage. Zero^talk 00:50, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per User:Zero0000. I searched in Chinese and found lots of sources (here are some: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]). I suspect there might be sources in some of the other languages used by member countries. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 14:41, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: per above. // Timothy :: talk 20:41, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
