 * Weak keep: Articles on enthusiast-based organisations can be problematic: a passion and dedication for the few but lacking notice by the wider community. In this case, however, I think there is enough in terms of coverage of ongoing visitor operations on the canal (as can be seen in various pieces of coverage, albeit local, under a Highbeam search), but more in terms of the earlier campaigning for reopening (which also led to creation of one of Scotland's leading tourist attractions: the Falkirk Wheel) to demonstrate a lasting impact which makes this reasonable for an encyclopaedia entry. (An alternative might be a merger of the article content into Forth_and_Clyde_Canal, which should at minimum be extended to mention the Society anyway.) AllyD (talk) 18:37, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep or Merge to Forth and Clyde Canal. Mais oui! (talk) 06:57, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep or Merge to Forth and Clyde Canal. Tourists should be able to see this information.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 18:20, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge to Forth and Clyde Canal for now, but no prejudice against a full article, if someone wants to write it. Sourcing should be possible, see below list. Why is this taken to AFD? WP:ATD-M is policy, and Forth and Clyde Canal Society is a perfectly normal categorized R to related topic. — Sam Sailor 02:55, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
