'Withdrawn by nominator'

Comment: Like this one? Or this? They're also mentioned in this document on senate.gov. Much as I know this is OR, I've just given their number a call and apparently they're no longer active. Dolescum (talk) 13:29, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your efforts looking into this. I still don't think notability is established though. The ISN page doesn't provide any reasons for notability (the claim about oldest think tank in the UK would make it notable, but it appears it is untrue since the organisation was founded in the 1990s not the 1970s). The other references are just passing mentions, I reckon. 1292simon (talk) 00:28, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. There are also multiple mentions on the NATO website including a member being involved in implementing treaties with Kazakhstan, one on their involvement in assisting Ukraine modernize their military, and this document where the "passing mention" (citation 53) suggests they were working out NATO strategies for dealing with enemy ballistic missiles.

Ahhhh, good stuff. I will withdraw the AfD. 1292simon (talk) 04:34, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
