[edit] Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik

Comment This is not a definition article but rather a stub about an organization. Mike _{(T C)} 17:32, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Seems notable enough from what I could read of de: and google. Kotepho 18:20, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, article fails to be anything but an acronym, in German yet. User:Zoe|^(talk) 21:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It is not an acronym, but just translating the name of this scientific society. It needs expanding. --Bduke 22:17, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • So write an article about Society of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics and redirect it. User:Zoe|^(talk) 22:46, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Because it is a German Society so has a German name. The english name could well redirect to the main article. --Bduke 23:37, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

The article used to be GAMM, I moved it to the German name as it is more common than both "German Society of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics" and "International Society of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics". The organization seems notable enough so the article should be expanded not deleted. Kotepho 10:09, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Notable organization, now categorised to improve its chances of expansion, but be patient. Hawkestone 00:24, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Notable organization, has article on the German Wikipedia. Do not move it to an English title, as the Society uses the German name (or its acronym GAMM) on the English version of its webpage. u p p l a n d 06:40, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment the AfD was for the original GAMM article, which didn't contain anything than the acronym, certainly not for the now created proper Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik article Gu 15:09, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep. Issue seems to be fixed. Good stub. Martinp 15:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
