This page does not appear to meet the WP:GNG for an organization, as I can find virtually no mention of it in reliable sources other than listings in directories. While it does publish a journal, that also does not appear notable or be referenced in any secondary sources outside of directory listings (I will be nominating that for deletion as well). I am pretty new to AfD, and so I do not believe there are any subject-specific notability guidelines that would apply. Please let me know if I should have submitted this differently. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 05:21, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * The icga.org site has a "Tournaments" link to http://www.grappa.univ-lille3.fr/icga/event.php?idT=44 but if you go to archive.org for that link and choose 2019, you get forwarded to http://web.archive.org/web/20190418094525/https://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/ So icga.org has simply not updated it's web site yet. The French website that was forwarding requests has been down for months. I have sent an email to webmaster@icga.org to this effect.--Sa57arc (talk) 08:27, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I found this link to a recent World Computer Chess Championship, which of course mentions the organizing entity. Bruce leverett (talk) 21:52, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The only sources I could find were similarly trivial mentions that don't seem to satisfy the "significant coverage" of WP:GNG. There is already a page for the "World Computer Chess Championship" if that is notable, but how would that make the organizing entity notable? – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 20:55, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of significant independent coverage. Those resources available in the article or visible in searches that are significant are directly connected and the independent mentions are only brief mentions or only in passing.

 * Delete. The best sources I could find in a search were something like —brief mentions in reliable sources that don't meet the significance criteria. I couldn't find stories about the ICGA specifically versus just being quoted, etc. Even looking for its previous incarnation at the ICCA basically brings up "this existed" in passing mentions.

 * Delete - no significant coverage from reliable, third-party sources. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 01:48, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Chompy Ace 07:45, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
