International Fortean Organization

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article, obviously written as an WP:ADVERT, is about an organization which seems to me to fail WP:CORP. In particular, the assertion of notability seems to derive from a quote by John Keel. I think we can merge any relevant information to Fortean Society which is/was far more notable. ScienceApologist (talk) 15:30, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge parts of it somewhere I wouldn't call it a blatant advertisement, although it would need a good amount of cleanup. The organization has received some mainstream attention, mainly for FortFest, , so I think we should discuss them somewhere. Zagalejo^^^ 23:14, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep with the sources that Zagalejo found. The article does need some cleaning up though. Themfromspace (talk) 11:17, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up. Sources are available to establish notability, Google book search--J.Mundo (talk) 12:00, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Again, adequate sources. DGG (talk) 03:59, 23 January 2009 (UTC).
 * Keep The sources are appropriate. This is not an advertisement; it is historical. To claim that it should be subsumed into other entries is tantamount to saying--let's incorporate the history of the Church of England into a history of Protestantism.208.59.173.4 (talk) 06:01, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
