fails WP:ORG, nothing in gnews. and the article says the organisation is dormant. so I don't see the point of this article unless significant history can be found. also nominating: however not nominating Ordre des traducteurs, terminologues et interprètes agréés du Québec as this has marginal notability.

 * Delete Interpreters/Translators Society of the Northwest Territories as non-notable. Google finds no news sources, only one scholarly work and five books (which may be false-positives; they are not preview-able), and only 24 web hits for the group. I have not checked the others, but if there are no more sources than this available, they should be deleted, too. Cnilep (talk) 06:07, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Ontario, weak keep Alberta and Saskatchewan, delete the rest. Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario actually has several mentions in Google news archives; Alberta and Saskatchewan are mentioned in books or scholarly articles (though perhaps only in passing).

 * Comment ontario one does not get any indepth coverage in gnews . LibStar (talk) 06:25, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Dang me for not properly noting those sources when I found them; now I can't re-locate them. There is, however, mention of ATI Ontario and Societe de traducters du Quebec here: Repa (2010) "Training and certification of court interpreters...." This is probably not sufficient to establish notability, but is a step in that direction. Cnilep (talk) 04:50, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * In the absence of reliable sources to demonstrate notability, delete all. These are all holdovers from 2004, a time when Wikipedia's inclusion rules were being made up as we went along: sourcing requirements weren't so tight and the distinction between notability and mere existence wasn't so well defined.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Comment. In light of my inability to locate reliable sources, I have no objection to Bearcat's rationale. Cnilep (talk) 03:00, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
