I can't actually find any third-party sources that verify this organization's notability. Powers T 01:16, 12 December 2013 (UTC)


 * ANFI is *THE* National Association for Cattery and it is recognized by the Italian Government whicj also delegated to that association to manage the genealogical book of every recognized feline breed. It is part of FIFè Fédération Internationale Féline. In Wikipedia there are already other associations as ANFI, for example, The International Cat Association, Fédération Internationale Féline, Cat Aficionado Association. You can find them in the category for Cat_registry. If you delete ANFI you should delete all of them, otherwise it would be a geographical discrimination. --Dejudicibus (talk) 08:40, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

While the page would certainly benefit from some extra content and references on history, activity, status and aims; I think the Organisation's notability can be verified by some third parties. Eg. and. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.36.212.45 (talk) 15:27, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

ANFI is the acronym for Associazione Nazionale Felina Italiana (National Italian Feline Association)- founded in 1934 became part on 1949 of the F.I.Fe. (FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE FELINE. The ANFI have been recognized on 1997 by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture - this meaning its the only association that can testify and release genealogy documents with legal validity in italy and internationally for what regards italian cats. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.53.190.171 (talk) 13:46, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I suspected as much, but the fact remains that I'm having trouble finding reliable third-party sources that prove the subject's notability. Perhaps you could help find them and add them to the article. Powers T 15:05, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

 * In which language are you searching those third-parties sources? Because ANFI is a national association, so you should search in the national language, that is, Italian. In the past there was some discussion about some Italian notable article because some Wikipedian was pretending to find sources in English language only. This is ok for English-related organizattion but makes little sense for other countries.--Dejudicibus (talk) 17:34, 14 December 2013 (UTC)


 * By the way, here is the list of all international feline associations members of FIFè (which is in Wikipedia too).--Dejudicibus (talk) 17:36, 14 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Certainly looking for Italian sources would be ideal, but I have no ability to evaluate Italian sources for reliability, comprehensiveness, significance, or relevance. That's kind of why I've suggested that someone else might want to find some to put in the article.  Powers T 14:36, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Just stumbled upon this deletion discussion as I came across another dubious article that referred to here: École supérieure internationale de Bruxelles. I don't intend to participate in this discussion (no expert, lack of time, just came across while editing a complete other subject), but thought you guys should be informed as well about this.

I'm sorry, I am really confused! Are you telling me that the Italian Government isn't a sufficiently reliable source and reference for you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laura Settimo (talk • contribs) 15:13, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - There appears to be a bunch of news articles similar to this one that essentially confirms that the organsiation is the governing body for cat breeds in Italy. That's based on machine translation as I have no skills in Italian.  I suspect that an editor proficient in Italian could find much better sourcing for this article. -- Whpq (talk) 17:57, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * No one's really disputed its status; the question is is that alone enough to meet our WP:N requirements? We need reliable third-party sources that discussion this organization qua organization.  Powers T 00:46, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
