| Submission declined on 25 January 2026 by Scope creep (talk). Seems to be notable but not currently satisfying WP:V. The references are a mess. IMDB and reddit are non-rs. Remove these along with landing page refs, gov.uk junk and other crap like profile pages. Lots of Wikipedia:Bare URLs need full citations. Why is there a register of charities web page url?
