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. Zerotalk 00:50, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- 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)
