Seems to fail to meet GNG, no significant coverage in reliable sources. Seems to fail to meet Event notability guidelines: (1) Almost certainly no enduring historical significance (2) No impact and not analyzed in sources, there is basically no coverage of this and it goes to no depth at all, at best summarizing the declaration.

- Draftify: Only 3 days out from this declaration, looks like a case of WP:TOOSOON. If there is more media coverage in the coming days or weeks, then maybe. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 21:51, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

- I disagree. It was for example in Die Welt https://www.welt.de/kultur/plus248023426/Westminster-Declaration-Warnung-vor-dem-industriellen-Zensurkomplex.html and The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/rishi-sunak-warned-over-censorship-of-ordinary-people-pswfs75fg and have a long list of iconic persons that are signatories. It was also reported on by Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi who have written articles on Racket and Public that "may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications" - which is the case. Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi have frequently featured as experts with regards to censorship on reliable news such as The Hill and Reason (both can be found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources) and have been used as expert witnesses in the Congress. It was also published by academic experts from https://futurefreespeech.com/publications/ "The Future of Free Speech is a collaboration between Copenhagen based judicial think tank Justitia, Columbia University’s Global Freedom of Expression and Aarhus University’s Department of Political Science. Through our project, we have brought an evidence-based approach to the burning questions raised by the principles and practices of free speech in an interconnected digital world". Other significant sources too, not all reliable. Cheers. 193.169.154.232 (talk) 09:36, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- Note that the title was created as a redirect to Westminster 2010: Declaration of Christian Conscience in 2010 so if there is consensus this one isn't notable it should probably be returned to a redirect there. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:50, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- Honestly, 13 years later, that doesn't look notable, either. The "Manhattan Declaration" which caused these copycat declarations seems notable though. Phiarc (talk) 10:56, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Discussing this in classes on censorship. Will be important as background to Missouri v. Biden (No. 3:22-CV-01213) which is set for Supreme Court 2023-2024.. Kmccook (talk) 21:00, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep the Declaration. This article (proposing the deletion) should be redirected to the page on irony. To delete the Wikipedia page about the declaration only validates the declaration's point. [1].Cmilescody (talk) 15:15, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
