Fails the notability guideline for organisations. PROD contested, citing four sources which, upon investigation, all turned out to contribute nothing to notability:

Parade, CMT and People are puffy tabloid pieces based on a press release (People is the most honest/shameless about this: "It was such an unexpected major expense at an already tough time," Lambert, 36, said in a press release.) They don't even cover Waggle beyond the barest of passing mentions; they're about a separate fund Miranda Lambert set up in partnership.

The Day a local Connecticut newspaper writing about a local business, exactly the sort of coverage WP:AUD excludes from notability considerations.

These sources are so flimsy I am honestly a bit ticked off that the PROD was contested. – Teratix ₵ 15:17, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

• Delete - this does not pass GNG. The Day is a moderately-sized regional paper that can count towards notability for some topics, but local-interest pieces like this do not. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:54, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
