Article created by WP:SPA, with primary function of WP:ADVERT and WP:PROMO. Only appears to have primary-sources about itself to promote itself. — Cirt (talk) 22:04, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article is about a serious academic organization. I didn't see any advertisement . The only problem I can see is the inconsistency between the title and the lede which can be fixed.Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 14:30, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment As a uninterested party, it certainly seems to meet the criteria for deletion articulated by Cirt. However, if Nedim Ardoğa as a Turkish editor, has personal knowledge that this is a verifiable organization worth inclusion; I would ask that he/she provide a few edits to the page adding proper third-party sources substantiating the claims. @ytea _{say howdy!} 22:47, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge. This organization appears to be a content fork of another organization, the former national academy that became discredited after it lost its independence, but it's too soon to see whether it will be fully accepted as the successor organization, and (like most academic societies, even the bigger and more well established ones) there are few if any sources that are independent of the organization itself. Instead of deleting, it might make sense to merge this content into Turkish Academy of Sciences. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:18, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is apparently intended as a equivalent to the Turkish Academy of Science that would not be under government control. It would appear to possibly be as significant as the official academy, and is of similar size.. DGG ( talk ) 01:17, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per DGG and others. Note the suggested searching on "The Science Academy" doesn't work well. Try also:
