Not a notable organization. I can find no secondary sourcing that does anything more than mention the club. There are two books on the topic, but one is for sure published by the organization itself, and the other seems to be. Update: I just saw the first AfD, where I found no actual evidence of notability, except for one minor article. Drmies (talk) 20:20, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article may need work, but the organisation is significant, see e.g. this [1] dml (talk) 21:52, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 21:31, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. WP:THREE: [2] [3] [4]. Article definitely needs a solid cleanup though! Merko (talk) 01:46, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
