Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/National Foundation for Educational Research
While I can quite see why this nomination has been made, I still think that deletion would be the wrong decision - the NFER is a distinctly reputable (and quasi-official) producer and publisher of educational research, whose work tends to be on matters of current interest to British educational policymakers and is highly likely to inform their decisions. However, for the general public, this work is not exactly bedtime reading. This puts the NFER in pretty much the situation for which (admittedly for individuals rather than organisations) we have #1 - it far more often gets passing mentions (which are likely to generate reader traffic to Wikipedia looking for further information) citing the work it produces than substantial coverage of the organisation itself. In this kind of situation, notability can be fairly safely assumed, though we do need at least some reliable (if not necessarily detailed) sources to support the content of the article. And, while I hope that more and better can be found, the following, while not ideal, look at least adequate for this purpose: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=D_COAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA3, https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=jBsbywQh3qYC&pg=PA47, https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=mygUDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA204, https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=k89anpKEY6YC&pg=PA347, https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Eo0QgcEpUF8C&pg=PA87 (for the last of these, a snippet suggests that the best information may be on page 94, which is unfortunately not part of the preview
