Non-notable group of reporters who write about soccer. Lack of significant coverage by reliable third party sources. While some of the members may arguably be notable on their own, their notability doesn't transfer to the organization. Appears to be little more than a promotional article, listing members and providing links to join the group. Appears to fail WP:ORG Niteshift36 (talk) 22:55, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I should note that they give away a player of the week award, which gets their name mentioned a lot, but again, I didn't find that significant in-depth coverage of the assoc that a notable org would have. Niteshift36 (talk) 23:00, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - this is a journalism related professional association, and not specifically a business as defined by WP:ORG. Similar US and UK based sports journalism associations are found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here. WP:ORG is not relevant criteria. --Whiteguru (talk) 12:10, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Guru, listing other orgs with articles is really just WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS isn't it? Whether it falls under WP:ORG or another criteria, which criteria doesn't require significant coverage by reliable third party sources? That is what is lacking. What criteria do you think it should be judged under and where is the significant coverage? Niteshift36 (talk) 15:47, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
