Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Language Creation Society
First of all, let's point out once again that notability is not a hard rule, and the |corresponding page make it clear that the only thing that really matters is significant coverage in significant sources. More importantly, however, let's not forget that notability is relative. I am ready to believe that for people involved in subjects like mathematics, religion, politics or the Twilight series, the whole subject of language creation may seem futile, and I will certainly not dispute that in terms of notability the LCS as a subject cannot compete with Pythagoras, Edward Cullen or Kim Jung-Un. But within the field of constructed languages, the LCS is not only significant, it's crucial. Frankly, I've no idea where the assertion comes from that there are "no news worthy articles". There's a fairly long list of articles in the press about the LCS or at least mentioning it, and I could start giving links, but one might just as well have a look http://www.google.nl/#tbm=nws&q=%22language+creation+society%22 here. On Google Books and Google Scholar you can find numerous references to the LCS too, also in the scientific press, and many of these occurrences  are far from trivial and completely unrelated to Dothraki. It may be true that most of the references used in the article are essentially primary sources, but on the other hand, I'd say we're way beyond the stage that articles are supposed to provide lists of references with the sole purpose of proving that the subject is noteworthy.That the whole thing is just a bunch of former UC Berkeley students is plain nonsense; the LCS may  well have originated there (any organisation has to originate somewhere, doesn't it?), but at present it has members all over the world, and the current president is a Frenchman living in the Netherlands. Merging this article into Dothraki language is not an option; even if Dothraki is probably the LCS main achievement, its activity reaches much further than that (including the biannual Language Creation Conferences, also referred to in quite a number of articles).At last, I'm sorry to mention this again, but I would appreciate it very much if Wikipedians could refrain from using terms like "advertising" and "spam" for subjects they consider obscure or otherwise don't care for. Personally, I don't see how this article is promotional in any way (and mind, as an admin on L I've deleted tons of promo stuff myself), but if somebody thinks otherwise, this can simply be remedied by rewriting a few sentences. &mdash
