The result was delete. The few sources presented here are primary or promotional in nature. I do not see the in depth sourcing that helps a subject pass WP:GNG or WP:NCORP.

Thanks everyone for participating and if you disagree with this decision please take it to Deletion review - unless there is a tech issue. Thanks for assuming good faith and happy holidays! Missvain (talk) 00:27, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

International Road Federation

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Can't find any evidence the subject meets WP:CORP, and it doesn't seem to have had any independent sourcing since creation in 2008. Has frequently been used as a promotional platform by the subject.  Hut 8.5  19:54, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. I added some references. There seem to be two different organizations with the same name: https://irfnet.ch/ in Switzerland and https://www.irf.global/ in the United States. This article is about the one in Switzerland. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:02, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Things like don't show that the subject meets WP:CORP. That source is basically a press release announcing the location of a conference, and largely consists of quotations from a spokesperson for that conference. It also doesn't represent significant coverage of the subject, as we don't learn anything about the International Road Federation other than that they have this conference. (It also doesn't support the statement it's been cited for in the article.)  Hut 8.5  08:36, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

The organization is 100% real and a non profit and has a history since 1948. I dont see this as promotional at all. See :https://www.irf.global/mission/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.171.142 (talk) 20:19, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete It doesn't matter if they actually exist, the organization itself does not meet General notability guidelines.-- VViking Talk Edits 12:51, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

I still dont understand how an organization founded in 1948, recognized by the United Nation with global activities doesn't mean the general notability guidelines. I read the guidelines and still dont understand how the organization wouldn't qualify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.171.142 few or no other edits (talk) 22:26, 2 December 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Interesting - what to do with this sort of organizations? They should be mentioned in various specialist journals, but those are not easily found by "Googling". Here are a few links:, , - are these considered "proof of relevant existence"? - Keep. --User:Haraldmmueller 15:11, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
