Turku Science Fiction Society

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

fails WP:ORG. nothing in gnews. doesn't have Finnish article so can't check that. simply being the oldest science fiction society doesn't guarantee notability. LibStar (talk) 23:11, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable and well established (founded in 1970s) organization that publishes a semiprozine called Spin and has been the main organiser of Finncon twice in 1999 and in 2003. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:57, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:ITSNOTABLE is not a valid reason. please provide evidence of significant coverage, so that it satisfies WP:ORG. being "well established since 1970s" does not grant automatic notability. LibStar (talk) 07:25, 6 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable and verifiable. Requires some research, and knowledge of Finnish language, though. I added one English independent ref. And being the oldest does grant notability, as does the fastest, the tallest, etc. - Altenmann >t 21:58, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
