National Association for Science Fiction

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Procedural nom. This was speedied as an article "asserting no notability". However, it does assert notability, as this was New Zealand's first science fiction club, and was the founding organisation of New Zealand's annual science fiction awards, the Sir Julius Vogel Awards, and an organisational force involved in the coordination of national conventions. it was also the country's only nationwide fannish organisation for one and a half decades. My own view is a strong keep on that basis, though I have to admit bias as a primary editor of the article and a former member of NASF. Grutness...wha?  06:22, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Sourcing, which given the era will likely be deadtree, would be nice.  But I see no pressing requirement for deletion.  Serpent&#39;s Choice 07:20, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep per Grutness, although I agree a source or two would be nice. -- Avenue 16:51, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep if the information is accurate (and google confirms it is likely to be) then it is without doubt notable. Finding sources is the next task... JulesH 17:13, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
