 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. A learned society is usually notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 17:22, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. First, it's a common non-profit organization, not a learned society; moreover, it is quite new (founded in 2015) and have not received any coverage by reliable sources. Wikisaurus (talk) 10:20, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Not sure how relevant this is, but the UAJS certainly portrays itself as a learned society: "In cooperation with world’s top academic institutions, the UAJS organizes round tables, discussions, public lectures, mini courses, and other academic events. The UAJS co-administers the MA in Jewish Studies Program [....] Judaica Ukrainica, a peer-reviewed annual journal of the UAJS, accepts scholarly contributions – articles, documentary publications, and reviews[.]" I can't find anything to suggest this portrayal is somehow false. -- Visviva (talk) 06:37, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, encyclopedic, no clear rationale for deletion (and while it's often forgotten on AFD, deletion should always be a last resort reserved for unsalvageable content). NORG seems to be adequately satisfied by the cited sources (e.g. at least two paragraphs of dedicated coverage here, an English-language profile of the founder with significant detail on the organization here). But even if the subject-matter of the article fails NORG, that would merely suggest that the UAJS does not merit a stand-alone article -- i.e. it should be merged to some other article on a more general topic. There is no deadline, so we can wait for topic editors to create Jewish Studies in Ukraine or similar, at which time they can reach a consensus on whether this content should be merged there or kept distinct. -- Visviva (talk) 06:37, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: the Russian discussion attracted a grand total of one (1) participant, and the nom there seems to have hinged on significance (?!) rather than sourcing. I assume that was a proper application of RU's policies, but it would be a highly inappropriate example to follow here. -- Visviva (talk) 06:52, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep I see sources, so I see notability. From my experience with the Russian Wikipedia they delete organizations (commercial or non-profit) far too easy and without serious discussion. In any case, that is not valid argument. Debresser (talk) 10:27, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
