This organization's notability seems to rest on some very brief mentions in a few news sources (e.g. BBC, Deutche World). I note that none of these articles have bylines, and they all seem to read like press-releases. There's no evidence that anybody other than the organisation themselves considers the Right Livelihood award to be an "Alternative Nobel Prize". The vast majority of sources on this article are inappropriate (e.g. YT, primary sources) which do little to establish any notability for this subject.

Keep. Reliable mainstream sources like SVT (the Swedish national televisin broadcasting corporation) also refers to it as the "alternative Nobel Prize". As does national radio. The award ceremony had been in the parliament for thirty years, and it is known well enough that it was news when it had to move, and big, national organisations were involved in the debate. SVT and SR, linked above, are perhaps the two most important and respected news organisations in Sweden, and go beyond just press releases. A search in w:sv:Mediearkivet gives plenty of results from all sorts of major Swedish newspapers, over a longer period of time. I'm sure there's a lot that could be done with the article, but the award itself is easily notable. /Julle (talk) 17:15, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. BBC and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung are pretty good sources. And what is YT? Rathfelder (talk) 23:10, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
