The result was   keep. There is a reliable source used to verify some of the article. It also seems clear that as a member representative of a majorinternational organization this group is notable. JodyBtalk 22:09, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - request for deletion is another example of the risk of bias and information destruction inherent in the unwillingness of many English-mother tongue users of Wikipedia to acknowledge the importance of of foreign institutions that are not routinely reported in the Anglophone media.

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


 * Note: I have opened a discussion of this AfD and a dozen others open at this time for member societies at Talk:International_Amateur_Radio_Union, and have asked a question about the use of stubs like this at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(organizations_and_companies. --Abd (talk) 00:18, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep This is the sole national member of the IARU for Lithuania, and such recognition published by the IARU establishes sufficient notability for a stub (with the IARU as a source sufficiently independent of the subject). However, if not, the decision should be Merge and Redirect to the International Amateur Radio Union article, rather than Delete, because the redirect will be necessary anyway. (Elsewhere, it's being argued that these national societies should be merged; however, I'm attempting to facilitate an overall decision on these, so as to avoid all the multiple AfDs. I asked for this AfD to be reopened because it had obviously not attracted the attention of editors with knowledge of and interest in the field. One similar AfD just closed as Keep; there remain 12 more open, including this one. It is highly likely that an exhaustive search, in local libraries or archives, or in archives of QST -- which I cannot access, but members of the ARRL can -- will come up with more independent sources, for all the national members of the IARU, which is why I recommend a blanket keep for all the national members. --Abd (talk) 20:14, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Membership of IARU should be sufficient evidence of notability. The article itself is good, and doesn't really deserve to be a stub. Dsergeant (talk) 16:11, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
