Delete Primary concern is the lack of notability. Also, it isn't very encyclopedic. It's really just a list of services offered--for example, the organization will "help you to file for retirement," etc. janejellyroll 20:44, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Google search gives 10,600 hits. Hardly nn. Article ought to be rewritten though, to become less of an advertisement. --Soman 12:48, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article is rubbish but the organisation can't help being notable. (Caution: some French required). Start with fr:Assemblée des Français de l'étranger. This is a French government-sponsored organisation. The website is here. The AFE elects 12 of the 331 French senators. The ADFE-FdM (see fr:Association démocratique des Français de l'étranger - Français du Monde) is one of the political groups in the AFE (parties don't sit there as such). It has 53 of the 155 members of the AFE and is represented by 3 senators: one sitting with the Citizen and Republican Movement and two with the Socialist Party. There are plenty of results for ADFE (the common name of the thing) on Le Monde/Le Figaro/Libé. This quite isn't on a par with the Republican Party, but it does worry me a little that an organisation with vastly more representation than the Libertarian Party (United States) could be AfD'd.
