The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy delete, G12, without prejudice to recreation in a non-copyrighted fashion. While the notability of this organization is beyond dispute, enough of the wording of this particular article is derived from copyrighted material on the SAIEE Website that it is best the article be blown up and rewritten from scratch. A derivative of a copyvio is still a copyvio. Blueboy 96 12:34, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Advertisement, only sources on article seem to point to the organization instead of independent sources. Andewz111 (no 'r') (PingusTM) - Linux rulez! (nudge me) 03:03, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. National professional organizations of electrical engineers are generally notable. For similar organizations in the United Kingdom and the United States, see Institution of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, although both of these have significant international memberships.

I'll say a reword's needed. Andewz111 (no 'r') (PingusTM) - Linux rulez! (nudge me) 04:16, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep National organization with a voice in the S.A. Power Solution being devised for a Nation. Exit2DOS ^{• Ctrl • Alt • Del} 05:25, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Appears to be a prominent and well-covered organisation. More than enough for an article here. --Mkativerata (talk) 21:08, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as one of the silliest deletion nominations that I've seen for some time. I generally keep away from any of the social networking parts of Wikipedia where people create drama about editor behaviour, but maybe someone who is more au fait with the correct procedures could advise the nominator to fix that signature.

* I said earlier that a reword is needed. I would like for this to be closed... Andewz111 (no 'r') (PingusTM) - Linux rulez! (nudge me) 08:02, 2 April 2010 (UTC) And yes, the signature will be fixed.[reply]

Keep. A reword is done, and the article's feeling well. Also, the signature is fixed: Andewz111 (no 'r') (nudge me) 08:04, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
