[edit] The British Aerosol Manufacturers' Association

Nothing to assert notability per WP:ORG and a search doesn't return significant coverage. Travellingcari (talk) 16:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak delete. The coverage in google seems to be kind of trivial - I mean, there are mentions of it, and there are pdf files, but no third-party sources that address the subject in detail are cited in the article. I wouldn't speedily delete this though, and I think someone should take a closer look at the sources.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 17:20, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak keep if there's another source, to show that they are in fact the major national trade organisation in their industry. DGG (talk) 20:01, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I'd agree but I don't find anything. Even in the PR stuff, which I know doesn't meet RS, which would normally say "Person X was appointed to BAMA which is the king of the world since the day of the dinos..." doesn't. I just can't find any evidence that it's an industry leader. Even plain ghits don't appear to assert any industry importance. Travellingcari (talk) 21:34, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep- significant organisation in the field of aerosol industry, particuarly in the UK Astrotrain (talk) 13:04, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment particuarly in the UK : Hardly surprising, given its name. Emeraude (talk) 14:14, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Genuinely seems to be the most notable organization in the British Aerosol industry. Usefully encyclopedic to anyone researching that field. I'd say that any genuine and legitimate national manufacturers' association is notable by definition. Something can be both notable and boring! Aardvarkvarkvark (talk) 15:24, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment While I agree that it could be considered notable if we could find sources that back up the above claims of 'signifcant organisation' and 'seems to be the most notable' I disagree with : Usefully encyclopedic to anyone researching that field. Have you read the article? There's no substance, it's essentially its mission statement. I know that's for WP:CLEANUP and not AfD but my issue with that is a lack of sources with which to make this encyclopedic. Travellingcari (talk) 15:37, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
