Keep. A notable organization in the building trade with several decent independent references. We can do without flippant deletion suggestions.Rathfelder (talk) 10:53, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- This nomination was not flippant, although perhaps the bit of attempted humor—which I have now struck—was ill-considered. The majority of references in the article are either dead or primary, and I could not find others. The references that appear reliable and do mention this organization are passing mentions in trade journals. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 13:32, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - I just found some additional hits looking for "International Grooving and Grinding Association" (e.g., [1]) but they appear to be contributed by the organization itself, which does not help with notability. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 13:50, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There are 4 independent references. That seems enough for an organisation of this sort. Rathfelder (talk) 10:17, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep - I'm seeing dozens of mentions of this half-century old trade organization in a Newspapers.com search. Carrite (talk) 02:56, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
