Association Royale des Radio Amateurs du Maroc

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

fails WP:ORG. nothing in gnews. If someone can find actual coverage in Arabic I'll reconsider. rather than saying there must be foreign language coverage. LibStar (talk) 00:48, 18 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep — Non-profit organizations operating on national level are notable per WP:CLUB. PanchoS (talk) 01:04, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * it does not meet criterion 2 of WP:CLUB. LibStar (talk) 01:09, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * are you kidding? "The ARRAM is the national member society representing Morocco in the International Amateur Radio Union." PanchoS (talk) 01:32, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * where are the third party sources? LibStar (talk) 01:35, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * IARU's member list should be enough to verify basic information, which constitutes notability. PanchoS (talk) 01:37, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * then perhaps it should just be listed on International Amateur Radio Union article. Do you concede there is a complete lack of third party coverage? LibStar (talk) 01:40, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:CLUB also states Individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article unless sufficient notability is established through reliable sources that extend beyond the organization's local area. LibStar (talk) 05:25, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment did you read what you copied? This is according to the article, the national organization, which is not an individual chapter. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 08:49, 18 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep per PanchoS. This is a stub supplemental to International Amateur Radio Union, standard information that is better in a linked page than on the IARU page, it would be excessive detail there. Searching Arabic newspapers would be difficult for me, my Arabic is very poor, but the minimal information that is there is sufficiently verifiable for usage, and notability is established by being the national member society. Deleting stubs like this only makes it harder to grow a deeper article. --Abd (talk) 21:41, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep as per the discussion and decision of the parent List's AFD... this article complies with the decision made. Going through the list and putting Each Article up for AFD is a waste of time and effort (as I notice several associations have pop'd up here lately). To delete the stubs would revert the List of amateur radio organizations back to a bunch of external links only, where it was agree'd that stubs were the better of the 2 options.

 * Again, I ask that you consider a MASS AFD since you are using the same rational in every case and I am using the same !keep argument in every case. Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 15:47, 20 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Note: I have opened a discussion of this AfD and a dozen others open at this time for member societies at Talk:International_Amateur_Radio_Union, and have asked a question about the use of stubs like this at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(organizations_and_companies. --Abd (talk) 00:25, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Membership of IARU should be adequate for notability. Dsergeant (talk) 16:24, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
