 * Delete - I am unable to find significant coverage for this Australian not-for-profit organisation. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:03, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - within its own sphere, a well-known and highly-regarded organisation, but one without significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.--Shirt58 (talk) 11:07, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - as per nom. Codf1977 (talk) 12:03, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete? - No Way!! I've known about APANA for decades! Keep it! otherwise wikipedial loses its aim of completeness. Also, this organisation has cyber-historical significance as well as being a launching pad to many famous hacktivism.It probably has more references in books than online. adinov (talk) 13:46, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:IKNOWIT should be avoided. LibStar (talk) 02:53, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have taken the liberty to slightly tweak adinov's !vote so that it more properly reflect what I understand their intention to have been. There do appear to be some Google Books hits... but, it would seem to me, not enough.  And WP:Back when we were kids, remember how super-cool it was if one of your mates had an APANA account?!? isn't even even an AfD argument to be avoided :-( --Shirt58 (talk) 10:30, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
