Cambrian Archaeological Association

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a small charity in Wales of little note. I came across because a sister article is already up for deletion. See Here for that AfD Szzuk (talk) 15:11, 3 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. This proposal is risible. The CAA has been going for nearly 170 years, is a major cultural institution in Wales, and its journal, Archaeologia Cambrensis, is the leading archaeological and historical scholarly journal in the principality. The article needs expansion, but the notability of the Association should not be in question. GrindtXX (talk) 15:43, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The article is 3 sentences, the CAA website could have been made in 1990, the only ref isn't inline, googling brings back little of note. This isn't a major cultural institution. However given the 3 keep votes it appears notable. Szzuk (talk) 20:09, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - a less than perfect article doesn't make it one that should be deleted. Clearly notable as above. Blue Square Thing (talk) 22:18, 3 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - It already has its own article in reputable print encyclopedias and has been a major factor for decades in the historical and archeological understanding in Wales. This is a serious article, it just needs someone to take some ownership. FruitMonkey (talk) 19:21, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
