Procedural nom. It's been speedied and PRODded by established users, however I think there's some indication of notability, at least enough that it needs discussion. Neutral leaning weak keep, but this was not going to be an uncontested deletion. StarM 00:00, 27 June 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete Coverage is trivial at best which fails WP:ORG.  Aditya  α ß 06:16, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge Unless someone can come up with substantial coverage and improve what's there. ChildofMidnight (talk) 10:49, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Important in the development of African Studies, the African Studies Association and John Henrik Clarke's rise to prominence. It is covered in a specialized encyclopedia from an academic publisher. Also extensively covered in this academic book and many more. --Apoc2400 (talk) 11:09, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep a gsearch quickly indicates it's an active and of some importance in academia, , . JJL (talk) 01:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep It passes WP:RS and WP:ORG standards. However, the article should confirm whether the organization is still active -- its web site is not online and JJL's links stop at 2006. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:46, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge it with the African Studies Association article. It is too small to be out on its own. Mrs. Wolpoff (talk) 19:32, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge (at least for the moment)-- there is nothign to indicate whether the organisation still exists, how long it lasted, or what it has done. If substantial information can be provided the article can easily be re-expanded from the Redirect that will be left following merger.  Peterkingiron (talk) 23:39, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * merge I did find and add some more information--they sponsored a conference in 2006. But I don't think there is enough here for an article. DGG (talk) 03:22, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * merge Although it has some marginally ok sources, the article itself doesnt really establish notability. Aside from existing and founding a conference why should a reader care? Bonewah (talk) 13:31, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
