- Comment: WP:ATD would be a redirect to List of U.S. state historical societies and museums. Curbon7 (talk) 01:27, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep It looks like the Alaska Historical Society's activities regularly make state news. I was able to find a few recent articles about its conferences ([1] [2] [3]), and there seems to be plenty more on Newspapers.com ([4] [5] [6] [7] [8]).

- Keep a state historical society would be very unusual if it did not receive enough coverage to make it notable, and it seems TheCatalyst31 has found enough to demonstrate notability. Mccapra (talk) 10:46, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- Note — Alaska History (journal) was deleted through PROD in 2019. If this article is kept, that article should be restored for the purposes of merging into this article, as the two topics are closely intertwined. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 02:34, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. State historical societies are highly notable in the United States. They often maintain the principal state archives. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:39, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

- Keep the article needs improvement, but I see sourcing that would allow for a more descriptive stub to be built. Agree with RadioKAOS' suggestion about the journal as well as they can easily be covered together. Star Mississippi 13:49, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep; all state historical societies are individually articled. Swampyank (talk) 16:14, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: This subject meets the WP:GNG as there are secondary coverage of activities done by the organization. Let'srun (talk) 20:06, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep the subject passes WP:GNG based on the sources found by Catalyst. Given the age of the organization I would bet there are more newspaper articles on them. TipsyElephant (talk) 03:09, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
