The result was delete. The weight of argument is on the side of deletion, a decision made somewhat easier by the fact that the content of the article is basically just a listing of the officers.--Kubigula (talk) 03:27, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Non-notable. Renee (talk) 02:00, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete This is not about Carom billiards, played on a pool table, but about Carrom which is a board game. While we do have articles such as United States Chess Federation, such articles still have to demonstrate notability of the subject (as with USCF, which has 80,000 members, has publications and sponsors championships. While carrom may be very popular in Sri Lanka, the article doesn't indicate that this group is notable. Mandsford (talk) 15:10, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - From what I can ascertain, this is the national governing body for carrom. It's noted in the International Carrom Federation article, and on the ICF website. The article does need a lot of work, but a national governing body in a sport is notable. -- Whpq (talk) 16:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
