No assertion of notability; no references. Shalom Hello 16:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: It's a notable and respectable public relations association but the article needs help and sources in a big way. I'll see if I can spare some time in the next few days. Canuckle 23:54, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: It's similar to Public Relations Society of America. Canuckle 20:21, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

-- They are two separate organizations. PRSA focuses on media relations, while IABC focuses on communications strategy as a whole as well as online media.  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, The Evil Spartan 17:31, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment. Re: "original research": The current content is sourced from the association's official sites, which are acceptable sources about itself so long as the content is not unduly self-serving and meets other Verifiability criteria. I'll poke around for some third-party sources when I have time. Canuckle 19:47, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I've now flagged the creation of this AfD on the Talk page of the (relatively) new user who started the article. Canuckle 20:05, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep, Canuckle and Bearian have added sources and tidied up the article. John Vandenberg 06:18, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above. Originally, a conflicted mess, I'll work more on it, too, right now. Bearian 20:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
