Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/International Federation of Sports Chiropractic

Is not the fact of inclusion of this organization by national associations all over the world, alone make it "notable"? How about the recognition by the General Association  of International  Sports Federations  (GAISF) which  play a key role with the IOC? Also the International Council of Sports Science and Physical Education  (ICSSPE)....  This is the agency which OFFICIALLY provides all the Chiropractic services to the World Games.

Are there perhaps more sub rosa motives for keeping all mention except the bigoted  article by quackwatch  off wikipedia?

 * It is not clear that inclusion by those organizations imparts any inherent notability since we don't know what the criteria for inclusion are. The same holds true for the GAISF.  And please don't assume any illicit motives in the nomination -- first of all that violates WP:AGF, and secondly, that would presume that I, as the nominating editor, have undertaken a campaign to limit coverage of all chiropractic topics in Wikipedia.  I'm sure a search of my edit history will prove that false.  The only agenda here is to keep non-notable, self-promotional articles off of Wikipedia. P.S. discussions of the article deletion should be kept to Articles for deletion/International Federation of Sports Chiropractic, not this talk page.

One of the editors who contributed to the first Afd for the FICS page I wrote and had deleted, DID find this cite in a major paper, showing that it was FICS which selected the DC's to work at the Athen's Olympic Games... Dig -  I think this is a valid secondary source....   check it out. Drsjpdc (talk) 19:16, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * This is not an article from a major newspaper, this is a press release. As such, it is not a reliable source. Also, this is not the proper page to discuss this - the actual article's talk page would be better. DigitalC (talk) 21:51, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
