Keep. Organisation is defunct, but was significant while it existed as the central co-ordinating and representative body for probation services in England and Wales. I have added a reference. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:52, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Was very notable. Rathfelder (talk) 14:00, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Why should readers take someone's word for it that it was notable? SL93 (talk) 15:47, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- It doesn't take a genius to conclude that the co-ordinating and representative body for probation services for the whole of England and Wales might be notable! -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:41, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - So you’re basically calling me stupid...How nice of an admin. SL93 (talk) 15:31, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Nope. It's a turn of phrase. You were asking why we should "take someone's word for it that it was notable". I was pointing out why it wasn't just "someone's word" but common sense given the status of the organisation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:45, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Some readers may know something about the subject. There is certainly literature about it, but it is in the archives, not online. see http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C3354717. There is also more in the Probation Journal, but it is behind a paywall. The fact that at least one Chairman was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire is sufficient evidence of notability. Rathfelder (talk) 08:04, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep - This organisation has a big notority in UK. SaraLiX5 (talk) 22:49, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw: I was originally planning to withdraw this until I saw Necrothesp's comment. I was going to let this play out because of that comment, but I changed my mind. I withdraw this nomination. SL93 (talk) 18:55, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
