North Dakota State Poetry Society

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I PRODded with the note that there's Enough to avoid a speedy, but a BEFORE turned up only this, which isn't independent. Article was dePRODded by creator who said, ''Notability doesn't rest with only this state chapter but with the national network of poetry societies made up of various individual state societies. This state organization article is a stub, available for expansion, where anyone in the state organization can add their unique contribution to the whole. ''

While there's no reason required for dePROD, the reason indicates the creator doesn't particularly understand the reasons for the PROD. Pkeets did add material, unfortunately none of which establishes notability as they're simply membership benefits.

There is no significant, independent, in depth coverage to meet WP:ORG for this state chapter. I would probably just have redirected it to the National Federation, but since the PROD was declined and the creator argued against a merge for another chapter, we're here.

 * Comment Well, I know OTHERSTUFFEXISTS isn't an argument, but I was going to propose a merge to National Federation of State Poetry Societies when I noticed that all the others are blue-linked! So it's keep this one or nuke the lot? Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:45, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , proposed a merge for one of them, which the creator is contesting, so I'm not sure that's going to work. They may need to all be evaluated on merit.  Star   Mississippi  00:37, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to National Federation of State Poetry Societies – this is a textbook case of WP:BRANCH. I'm not finding any coverage from outside North Dakota (or, frankly, any coverage at all), so a redirect to the national society would be appropriate. (There's nothing worth merging, in my view.) I imagine the same would likely be true for the other state-level societies, given the rather strict WP:NORG standard. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:05, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
