Fails WP:ORG. Still could not find independent reliable sources establishing notability. Last AfD was closed as no consensus. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:42, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep And I will reiterate my vote from the previous discussion. In my opinion the organisation passes WP:GNG. There is plenty of coverage, but often only the abbreviation IFI is mentioned. Danmuz (talk) 09:10, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, and I hope the same nominator doesn't continue to renominate it every 6-7 weeks. Organisation of international scope that has been active for over 50 years. Multiple reliable independent sources already found (despite most coverage likely to be pre-internet) and used in the article. Sionk (talk) 18:59, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I see no evidence that it is the predominant organization in the field.  DGG ( talk ) 03:30, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Question: Which organisation is then? Sam Sailor 09:36, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Judging from the sources – I have added between 15 and 20 secondary sources, most of them book citations – the organisation more than meets GNG/NORG. IFI is the singular international federating body for organisations in its field, interior architecture / interior design, having among their member organisations ~30 national associations$Link$ including e.g. American Society of Interior Designers. We usually wait at least two months before renominating a "no consensus" close, cf. WP:RENOM. Sam Sailor 15:42, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Passes the WP:GNG and WP:ORG. For some odd reason first nomination ended in no consensus. This one should end in a clear keep. gidonb (talk) 03:25, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Yikes! I see that this was nominated 2 months ago. Nominating articles so frequently is not a good idea. At all! gidonb (talk) 22:06, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep The search string ""International Federation of Interior Architects" in Google Scholar finds 150+ articles. E.g. The International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers(IFI), the international body for interior design, struggles to give a clear identity to the profession and continues to debate the industry’s disciplinary definitions and directions.. Took 5 seconds to find.  FHHedlund (talk) 18:23, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep What changed between the last time you nominated it and now? This gives the appearance of forum shopping. &mdash; cnzx  00:49, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
