This was tagged via CSD, however it looks to me like they have been influential in their sphere. Taking to discussion here. Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 01:23, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Historic organization backed by reliable and verifiable sources. Article needs expansion, not deletion. Alansohn (talk) 01:34, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep- Google books yields a lot of hits that seem to establish the notability of this former organization. Pseudoscience is not an area I am familiar with, nor is psychology, so I cannot be 100% sure that all these hits are reliable but I feel that it's likely enough of them are to justify an article on this topic.

 * Merge to American Society for Psychical Research. This could make a small section in that article, with this being a redirect. Would produce a more encyclopaedic treatment for both, in context. I wouldn't oppose an early close to do this if there are no objections. Verbal  chat  10:51, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No objection from me. As the submitter I would be fine with this, but also as the submitter it would be inappropriate for me to close. Someone else want to do the honours? - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 11:16, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to American Society for Psychical Research. Lacks significant coverage to warrant its own article. - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:08, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
