Horridly unintelligible crap about a seemingly minor agency, the notability of which is not established through multiple, independent sources. Biruitorul ^Talk 04:24, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Badly written, presumably by non-native speaker. But concerns a government agency that is inherently notable. LotLE×talk 09:19, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, we know the mantra: "all government agencies are notable". But why? You're making a rather substantial claim there, that all the world's thousands of government agencies — not ministries, but agencies — automatically deserve articles here, WP:GNG and even WP:V notwithstanding. Colour me sceptical. If someone wants to restart them once they're gone from proper sources - which will have to be done regardless - fine, but as of now, there is no evidence of notability beyond the mantra. - Biruitorul ^Talk 14:53, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, more or less per LotLE. I would't go so far as saying all national govt agencies are inherently notable, but I think they're presumptively notable and there's no substantive argument here in opposition. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:25, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
