Keep - This is an absolutly madness! The Czech Institute For International Meetings is cooperating every year (ca. 10 - 14 events) with the European Parliament (Jaroslav Zvěřina, since 2005 - so colled "Jaroslav-Zvěřina-Series")in the area of Policy, economy and social affairs. The second protector is the Parliament of Federal Republic of Germany (Mrs. Marie-Luise Dött, see also the List of Bundestag Members) as well Konrad Adenauer Foundation (meetings and financiall support) in Berlin and Prague. Please, for more particular information see also the czech-side of Wikipedia (Český Institut Mezinárodního Setkání). --Dr.Dr. Jan Berwid-Buquoy 11:35, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable. Moreover, it lacks in citation as well. Niaz ^{(Talk •}^Contribs) 08:38, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no reliable sources provided or found in searching -- Whpq 16:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Zdeněk Herl-Stolt: "Czech Institute For International Meetings...Documents from Czech, Austrian and German press", ISBN 978-80-239-8967-0, Czech Republic 2007. Altogether - 296 documents, stories and photos about the Institute. That speaks for itself! --Zdeněk Herl-Stolt 19:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC) — Zdeněk Herl-Stolt (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Delete as non-notable per Niaz and Whpq. it should be noted that one of the main contributors to this article is Dr.Dr. Jan Berwid-Buquoy (talk • contribs). The only reference source listed for this article is a compilation whose authors are Dr.Dr. Jan Berwid-Buquoy and Zdeněk Herl-Stolt. Also Dr.Dr. Jan Berwid-Buquoy has been listed as a participant in this non-notable organization since the beginning of the article. This article has been sitting around without anyone noticing this little bit of self-promotion for an awful long time, but now I think someone has been busted.

Keep- seems prima facie notable, I also have not seen any justification for removing it. The page is likely to be in another language, any evidence of detailed searches from the deletion parties?JJJ999 05:44, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now, and flag for improvement, possibly via a better translation of the Czech wiki page for this organisation [1]. As I've said before in this forum, there's little guidance that specifically relates to learned societies, and there's a problem with them falling through the cracks. The Czech article gives 8 'Publikace', though to be honest, I'm not sure whether that's references about the society or publications by the society. I think much of the problem with the English page is that it has been translated by a non-native English speaker and some of the words used don't convey the intended meaning, leaving the reader unsure precisely what the society does. However, poor translation isn't a reason for deletion, nor is a lack of English sources available via Google search, nor conflict of interest, if the institution is genuinely notable.

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Czech Republic-related deletions. —User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 15:55, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the Czech provides plenty of references from different sources, so notability has been established there. Our translated article needs work, that is all. John Vandenberg 16:11, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
