Economic History Association

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

 * Userfy Although Cullen328 points out a possibly independent source, this article can't stay as is. If there's consensus to delete I'd like to have this moved into my userspace so I can rehab it. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 22:50, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Strong keep -- Its Journal of Economic History, Economic History Review, and Explorations in Economic History are the three most important economic hisotry jounrals. The subject of this article is the publisher of this journal and is the American equivalent of (British) Economic History Society.  At worst, merge to its Journal (or vice versa).  I expect there is the usual problem that applies to almost all learned societies that the main sources of information are internal ones to the association.  However, newletters and reports are produced to inform members about the Association's activities and can be expected to be true, even if they are not independent.  That ought to be enough for WP:V.

 * Keep or merge to The Journal of Economic History per Peterkingiron. Needs cleanup, not deletion.--JayJasper (talk) 22:34, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
