Effectively I am nominating on behalf of User:Huw_Powell who identified this as a deletion candidate but was unsure about how to nominate an article for deletion. His argument essentially ran that an organisation of only 40 people on whom the sole available source is a website last updated 2004 is ripe material for deletion. That certainly sounds like a reasonable assertion to me, so I'll give his proposal a chance in this forum, and slip him a message to let him know how to nominate articles in future.

Weak delete They do seem to exist, based on the blogs. But I would have expected someone to have actually done an article on them if they had actually been noticed.DGG 01:08, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete Hi, thanks for setting this up for me, Grappler. Most of my reasons are at the talk page, I will try to remember them and list them here, since I guess my entry is technically the nomination for deletion. One, the article is unsourced. Two, the web site of the subject organization consists of one file with no links, and was last updated (with an anniversary announcement!) several years ago. A google search yields one more file, a member listing. Three, lack of notability. This is related to #1, in that there does not appear to be any "activity" in the public sphere by the group. That is, it basically appears to be a private club. Also (not a real "reason for deletion"), the only WP file that links to it is the one on High IQ Societies. I would, of course, fully support the page if it could be sourced to even a single article in a newspaper or journal about the organization. I hope I have explained myself clearly, and thank you all for your time in considering this issue. Huw Powell 03:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete This article does not meet the notability criteria of WP:ORG ... I cannot find any Reliable Sources for citations about their activities ... the organization's website has absolutely no navigation to any other pages on the site, although Google shows a very out-of-date membership page ... can't find any information about how to join! —68.239.79.97 (talk · contribs) 02:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
