no evidence for notability. A previous version was copyvio, but the additional information there didn't show it either.  DGG ( talk ) 06:38, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now at best as although I found this and this, there's simply not much. Pinging past user who may be interested to comment.  SwisterTwister   talk  06:43, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Instigated by User:DGG I have now attempted an expansion of the text. I admit it has only few good independent sources, but note that the organization is non-profit and their meeting draws up to 3000 attendees each year. &mdash; fnielsen (talk) 09:06, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is now one secondary source (to be regarded as unaffiliated because it passed peer review), which devotes a single paragraph to the topic of this article. I can't find more coverage. That's not enough to meet the notability bar, see WP:CORPDEPTH. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 12:19, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * that single source is affiliated, not unaffiliated--it's published in the journal of the precursor of the organization,and Iwould be extremely surprised if the peer-reviewers weren't members also.  DGG ( talk ) 18:01, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I have added a few more references. Note that the article is linked from Pedro Antonio Valdes-Sosa, Karl Friston and Geraint Rees. &mdash; fnielsen (talk) 21:22, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment struck my previous !vote because the new sources made me doubt. The Nature Neuroscience editorial is especially hard to assess since on the one hand it calls the OHBM "an important forum" but on the other hand this is a prediction, rather than an assessment...

 * Question: are we looking for secondary sources which significantly describe the work of this organisation, or are we simply looking for works which cite it as a reputable and notable organisation in the field? On the latter point, I've found a number of academic books which cite it as a significant source (but don't actually talk about it specifically).  Maybe that's not good enough, so I won't link to the books here. JMWt (talk) 21:51, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * We're looking for secondary sources that are about the organisation. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 23:39, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
