Seeing as this group is only meeting for the first time now (literally as I write this), I question whether they are notable yet. Considering that this does seem to be a legitimate gathering of world powers, I assume that there will be some news articles that can be used to flesh this page out in the days to come. As it is though the only source I can find at the moment is the somewhat sparse UK government reference already listed. I'm going to try come back to this and see what can be done.
The prose reads as very non-neutral and promotional. For example the use of "bonded by" and "intend" sound more like trying to sell people on the ideas of the organization rather than describing them.
Contributing to the promotional feel is the focus on what the D5 intend to do rather than what they have done. We can't predict the future and so the article shouldn't be so largely focused on the intents.
The Independent and Evening Standard sources are exactly the same.
The D5 London 2014 section needs work to comply with MOS:PARAGRAPHS namely "The number of single-sentence paragraphs should be minimized, since they can inhibit the flow of the text; by the same token, paragraphs that exceed a certain length become hard to read. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading; in such circumstances, it may be preferable to use bullet points." So "Themes" really need not be a subheading, similarly "Events" probably shouldn't be either. I'd say "teaching" "open markets" and "connectivity" are fine as they have at least two paragraphs. The section though should be rewritten.
"became the first country in the world to mandate that coding be taught to all pupils" seems to be close paraphrasing. Since the source is freely licensed, it needs a citation
"as many as dozens" This is horribly imprecise.
External links should not be in the body of the article.
Quick Fail as I think the article will need to be largely rewritten to comply with the GA criteria. The article is not written in WP:WikiVoice and reads much more like a press release than an encyclopedia article which contributes to an overly promotional and non-neutral tone. I also have concerns about the use sources as almost all (11 of 16) are not independent of the topic. This is a big problem that I think also contributes to the promotional tone. I strongly recommend a peer review before renominating to help iron out the prose issues. Wugapodes (talk) 03:02, 4 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
