The Society is fifty years old and has a high reputation with its journal and contents frequently cited in academic journals and published works. The Society's publications afre considered unique in presenting otherwise unavailable information that we can publish because we do not need to consider whether a publication is profitable. Not sure how we can demonstrate "notability" except, if required, a list of works where the Society's publications and journal have been quoted.
 * Delete Complete lack of sources to demonstrate notability, can't find anything in a search that would suggest otherwise Dexxtrall (talk) 11:26, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Your use of the term 'we' suggests you have a conflict of interest here. Wikipedia strongly discourages editing pages where a conflict of interest exists. You must WP:DISCLOSE any conflict of interest Dexxtrall (talk) 10:20, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete -- Looking through the Society's website, I see little to give me confidence that this is a serious academic society. It is typical of articles on societies that the main source is their own website.  That is not an independent source but is likely in fact to be reliable.
