Sendt out to 100.000 Worldloppet participants. -The organisations website is mentioned on many independant wintersport sites and has a good load of traffic -IAWLS is refered as "Skiers association" on front page of Worldloppet.com I think this also qualifies as enough external referances and sources so ref.comment in removed from article.


 * No, only eight Google hits. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 15:52, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes :-) For search on Google use the abreviation, IAWLS. (Just like searching for IBM) Google search for this organisation, IAWLS (403 hits right now). Lavag2 (talk) 22:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I already did. Those hits are mostly for glitches on the scanning software for the word "law's". Please provide links to the sources that establish notability. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 23:17, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You can see that many of those 400+ hits are for IAWLS. Like frontpage of Worldloppet, Worldloppet history book, the individual web pages of Worldloppet races (Jizerska,Birken,Marcialonga++), wintersport sites like Rollski.de, sportsclubs like turrennklubben, discussions forums like usenet and others, escnordic.org.uk, and more. I can't list all relavant google hits, just select them from google result. Notability is there just like worldloppet has it. Lavag2 (talk) 01:56, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
