Given that they've had one major video targeted for suppression by a political campaign, and that they broke (well, collated and published) a major story that has since been picked up by the Guardian, Scotsman, and Herald, I think they are well on their way to notability. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/139.153.253.183|139.153.253.183]] ([[User talk:139.153.253.183|talk]]) 15:54, 10 April 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

this article lacks notability

National Collective do not "lack notability". They are playing a vital part in providing citizen journalism and a space for artists, writers, musicians and creatives to engage in the campaign and referendum for Scottish independence. They are doing this against the back-drop of a highly biased UK media, and there is today a clear attempt to silence them after they produced an article detailing the nature of one of the major funders of the UKs campaign to keep Scotland from becoming independent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.176.105.138 (talk) 15:52, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Given the recent and ongoing developments in media regarding story run by National Collective on funders to the Better Together campaign, I think it does not lack notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.215.5.255 (talk) 14:56, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

National Collective seems significant to me. As a political organisation with hundreds of volunteers and a role in a major upcoming referendum, I would say that its page is of encylopaedic value - especially since it has played a role in a major breaking news story (the involvement of Ian Taylor with Better Together).

National Collective is a very important part of the referendum debate in Scotland. Their ongoing fundraiser is generating thousands of pounds and their influence is widespread amongst the art community of Scotland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.81.116 (talk) 15:41, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
