British Society for Surgery of the Hand

This honestly seems like it should be clearly notable, but I'm really not seeing it. I can find lots of sources which mention it and/or its members in passing, but there doesn't seem to be anything independent that discusses this organization itself - in terms of alphabet soup, it would seem to fail WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:SIGCOV. Searches under "Hand Club", "British Hand Club", "Hand Society", and "British Hand Society" are either too broad to be useful or turn up the same sorts of results. Frankly, I hope I'm missing something here. ansh 666 01:41, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. National specialist society hosted by the RCSEng. This is not going to get huge numbers of ghits given its rather niche clinical area, but they publish a medical journal and all. JFW &#124; T@lk  10:49, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep In the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, I soon found an account of the formation of the society from two prior organisations in 1964. FWIW, I've had hand surgery myself and so have some familiarity with the importance of this field.  Andrew D. (talk) 12:12, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
