The result was Keep per WP:IAR, nominator gave weak rationale and has a history of possibly disruptive AfDs (and I'm a bit wary of a user whose first edit is installing Twinkle). Notability is clearly asserted in article anyway. Non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Spammy with zero evidence of notability. This is ridiculous Basegirlball (talk) 00:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - To my understanding "this is ridiculous" is not an accepted criteria for deletion. The organization in question has been around for a number of years, and their primary event, which takes place every October, has gotten coverage in the NY Times in the form of a number of articles each year. It seems a small organization, but size does not necessarily determine notability. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) (talk / cont) 01:12, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - per Ed and the New York Times. KnightLago (talk) 01:13, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
