This company does not meet WP:NORG as it is known only as owning the People's Archive of Rural India. There is nothing in the article that suggests the company is notable above and beyond that and notability is not inherited. In the 8 sources cited 3 do not mention the Trust at all but talk about the Archive and the other 5 talk about the Archive and only mention in passing that it is owned by the Trust. Here are the different mentions of the Trust in the sources

The site is run by The CounterMedia Trust.
it is owned by the CounterMedia Trust, registered in 2011
says the website which is run by The CounterMedia Trust.
It will be registered in the name of a trust we have formed for this purpose, the Counter Media Trust.
The site is run by the CounterMedia Trust, which aims to rebuild the people-centered traditions of Indian journalism.

The remainder of the articles talk exclusively about the Archive. Domdeparis (talk) 13:54, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment "3 do not mention the Trust at all but talk about the Archive" -- This is because the citations refer to the inauguration of PARI, CounterMedia Trust's key project — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alberun (talk • contribs) 11:13, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Alberun: This is exactly what I am trying to say. The sources are relevant to the PARI but not to the Trust itself. It is not because the PARI is notable that everything connected to it is (including the Trust that owns it). To prove notability of the trust you have to find in depth secondary sources sources that mention the trust and so prove its notability. Please read WP:NORG.

Delete per nom. PARI is notable and has a lot of coverage, however the trust has no independent notability and coverage. ChunnuBhai (talk) 05:15, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
