American Association of Individual Investors

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Apparently a non-notable "association" of investors. For what it's worth, I've received 5 invitations to join (for free) in the past week, so that even an audited membership count would be of questionable validity, and I see no evidence of that on the web. &mdash; Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:38, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * keep provided that the references are put in before the end of the AfD. Adding them promptly helps the later comers to the discussion.

 * Keep. This is a notable organization, frequently cited in market reports. The membership is surveyed about trends and news events, so they keep their name out there. 40 results in current Google News. I have no idea what its members think of the group, but the AARP is a pretty similar organization and they won't let go of somebody's mailing address until you sign up. --Dhartung | Talk 21:25, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Dhartung. &mdash; Madman bum and angel (talk – desk) 22:45, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Selected by Forbes for "best of the web" list.  --Nricardo 22:33, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Conditional withdraw if references are included, per DGG. &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 21:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep will add a reference or two from a third party source. -Chantoke 02:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
