Fails WP:GNG/WP:NORG. I could not locate significant (or) independent reliable secondary coverage of the organisation.

Current sources appear to consist mainly of the subject’s own website/self-published material, event speaker listings, advisory-council or contributor bios for Dave Venable (chairman), and self-authored/opinion pieces that identify his affiliation with the organisation.

The closest independent source is the Cybernews article quoting the chairman with his position, but is still not coverage of the organisation itself. Nyxion³⁰³💬 Talk 20:52, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: Additional context: the article author's short contribution history (24 edits over ~9 years) appears narrowly focused on David Venable (the chairman) and closely related subjects over several years, with long inactive periods between bursts of activity. This AfD is about an organisation chaired by David Venable and both this and the chairman's article were created by the same author. That does not by itself prove a conflict of interest, but it does raise WP:COI / WP:SPA concerns that I wanted to highlight here separately for more experienced editors in this area to look into and for User:Awkfilet to hopefully explain separately.

	This LLM-generated text has been collapsed and should be excluded from assessments of consensus.
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Comment: Thank you for the review and for raising the sourcing concerns. The Institute for Strategic Risk and Security (ISRS) is a recently established Geneva-based nonprofit research institute focused on cybersecurity, strategic risk, and emerging technology threats. The article was created as a concise stub intended to document the organization and provide a basic overview of its structure and areas of research. As noted above, the organization is relatively new (established in 2025), so the amount of independent coverage specifically focused on the institute itself is still limited. However, the institute and its leadership have begun appearing in independent media and policy discussions. For example, the Cybernews article cited in the entry quotes the institute’s chairman in the context of analysis of global undersea cable infrastructure risks, identifying his affiliation with the Institute for Strategic Risk and Security. In addition to media commentary, the institute’s leadership participates in academic and policy discussions on cybersecurity and emerging technology risks. For example, materials associated with the University of North Texas NEXUS program reference related work in this space, and ISRS leadership participates in international cybersecurity policy events and conferences such as the Cyber Future Summit. ISRS leadership has also participated in media and public education initiatives related to cybersecurity and geopolitical risk, including the documentary series Midnight in the War Room, which features several cybersecurity professionals and policy experts. The current article is intentionally modest in scope and written as a short descriptive entry rather than a comprehensive profile. As the institute continues publishing research and its work receives additional independent coverage, further sources can be incorporated into the article. With respect to the comment regarding editing history, I have made occasional edits over time to topics I am familiar with, including individuals and organizations in the cybersecurity and policy space. If there are concerns about neutrality or sourcing, I am happy for other editors to review and improve the article as appropriate. At present, the article is intended to serve as a basic encyclopedia entry documenting the existence of the institute, its leadership, and its areas of research. Awkfilet (talk) 21:31, 12 March 2026 (UTC) Please don't use AI in discussions, or to write articles like you did with this one. SecretSpectre (talk) 03:39, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

• Delete - Does not meet WP:GNG with lack of WP:SIGCOV. In regards to the comments above about 'independent coverage being limited' and 'adding sources as additional coverage is received' - articles on Wikipedia should only be published once notability is met. FiddleheadLady (talk) 01:05, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
• Comment: Totally understand the concern about WP:GNG / WP:NORG. The institute is fairly new (2025), so the amount of independent coverage specifically about the organization itself is still limited. The intent of the article was simply to create a short stub documenting the existence of the organization and its leadership rather than a full profile.

If the consensus is that the topic is premature for mainspace at this stage, I’d totally be fine with draftification rather than deletion, so the article can be improved later as more independent coverage appears. Regarding the note about my editing history: I’ve made occasional edits on topics I am familiar with over the years. If there are any concerns about the neutrality of any of my edits, or any perceived conflict of interest, I’m certainly happy to step back and let other editors review/revice.

Speedy delete fails in multiple levels including clear AI signs. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 02:27, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

• Delete: Fails the requirements of WP:Notability, On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article. Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable, "independent" sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. The subject is new, so even if legit, it is too soon. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for "advertising" or "promoting" new companies. -- Otr500 (talk) 19:46, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
• Delete I am not sure about the COI or anything, and frankly, I think the AI stuff is mostly from the commentary surrounding the AfD discussion, not the article itself. That all being said, I fail to see WP:SIGCOV for the article, and as is, I think it mostly deserves to be deleted failing extensive and in depth independent coverage from reliable sourcing.
