I removed a good deal of promotion from this back in 2009; looking at it again, I think the remaining contents is promotional also & I don't see that there would be anything substantial left if I tried to remove it. DGG ( talk ) 14:38, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep. Ive found 2 instances of coverage of this in what I think are reliable sources in the past month, which is impressive for such an old study. A HuffPost blog says talks about "the increasingly influential International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD)". Mother Jones refers to the study as "the global consensus of ag-development experts". I feel that the topic is notable even if the current article is a bit promotional, so it should be kept.

Weak Keep. There isn't much news coverage on the organization, but it is the subject of two journal articles according to Google Scholar. Those articles could be good sources on the organization itself. Marechal Ney (talk) 20:39, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
