New York Mycological Society
Non-notable, IMO. If this organization is notable enough to warrent an article, than there are a number of other local mycological societies (notably, the Mycological Society of San Francisco) that warrant an article. Alternately, this could be merged into an article called "Mycological societies", which could merge this with the already existing article Mycological Society of America, and add information on the North American Mycological Association, and other notable national and local mycological societies.

 * Merge into new article Mycological societies. Peter G Werner 22:39, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Since when do we merge into nonexistent articles?  This society is small but can stand on its own feet&mdash;scientific societies like this do not tend to be huge.  The fact that John Cage started it up makes it all the more notable.  Also it seems to have an older history than its present small group of members that could be expanded upon.

 * Delete, close enough to speedy as nn-club as things stand. If it's notable, I'm not seeing it. Stifle (talk) 00:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep environmental organizations are very important. Munckin 07:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

 * This search is more accurate. Once mirrors of this Wikipedia article, plus articles mirroring the similarly-named "Central New York Mycological Society" are eliminated, the hit count goes down to just under 300. Peter G Werner 04:56, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
