International PEN[edit]

Delete Organisation appears to be non-notable. No 3rd party sourcing in article, and all non-trivial GHITS appear to point to the organisations own sites Mayalld (talk) 14:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - but needs improvement. The International PEN is a very well-known organisation, often found in the news and with a long list of very notable authors as members, including nobel prize winners. It has often stood up for imprisoned authors and for the freedom of expression in authoritarian countries. Having said that, the page on the organisation is surprisingly bad, given its fame. Although never a very reliable indicator, the existence of the same page in more than ten languages says something about its fame. I hope it is kept and that the article is improved. There should be no doubt about the notability of the organisation. JdeJ (talk) 14:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
