Non-notable organization. Perhaps someone closer to the subject can find references; I took a look and could not find one that I would consider a primary source. BirdbrainedPhoenix (talk) 16:54, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete claims large membership (or what I would assume to be large membership for this sort of thing) but doesn't have the required substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:49, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CLUB. National in scale and covered in multiple sources such as, , , . 24.151.116.25 (talk) 19:45, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. HMGS is the top level society for historical miniatures gaming. Organization has been around since 1986 and a quick search turns up, , . HMGS chapters run dozens of gaming conventions across the U.S. Several of those chapters would themselves meet WP:GNG. A more thorough search would turn up lots of offline RS.

 * Keep HMGS is a well established organization, and should be kept.. Its chapters should be merged into the overall article, with redirects, instead of the small individual articles now being challeged with AfDs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dthomsen8 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 11 July 2013‎
