Mouldy article from the list of suspected COIs. Vanispamcruftisement with questionable notability. Fails to make a case that the subject passes WP:CORP. MER-C 05:10, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, article doesn't claim any notability outside local area. Fails WP:CORP. Maybe replace with a mention in Scarborough, North Yorkshire? -- Smalljim 15:08, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No Sources, No claim of notability, No real chance it is actually notable.--Work permit 02:55, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Not sure if this is the right way to add my thoughts, but I have added a history to the article and listed the three major publications (ie books rather than just the 'booklets' used for annual reports) that the society is responsible for. I don't know if this qualifies as 'notability', although I have seen the two older works (from 1953 and 1956) referenced by others. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sfns (talk • contribs).
 * The question is not whether the society has published books, but whether there are multiple, non-trivial mentions of the society in books or other reliable sources - ones not published by the society. For example, articles about the society in a national newspaper would be an excellent source. Gwernol 14:20, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, given the nature and scope of the organization there should be something notable; tone of article does need to be tweaked though. Is this really any less notable than a single episode of southpark?cheers, Cas Liber | talk  |  contribs 21:21, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
