Having seen a few of these discussions escalate as it appears to now be doing, I'd recommend that both Kastandlee and RadioFan take a breath and a break. RadioFan: while I appreciate what you are doing, where you are coming from, and what you are trying to achieve, you should take into account that you are dealing with a fairly new editor who has passion and drive, and wikipedia needs this in its contributors. I also believe that  is a harsh accusation to level in this occurence, and instead of stating that an editor has this you may have been better off statinng that the editor "may" have this, to AGF. My reading of  is that it relates primarily to commercial interests and is a little over the top in this case. Kastandlee: I know where you're coming from too. What is considered notable in Wikipedia is a little confusing compared too how things work in the real world. However, it is their rules and it's best to play by them. Similarly, what makes up a reliable source can be frustrating -- the circular argument that just because a source is notable enough to have a wikipedia entry doesn't make it reliable does my head in sometimes. Has there been any write-ups of the BASFA in somewhere like Locus, or local SF press? These would go a long way to demonstrating notability. Has the club fanzine been nominated for/won any awards? These should also help. If you can go through whatever records you have and add links for these references to this AfD that would be more helpful that getting into a disagreement with RadioFan. Your passion and drive to make wikipedia better is appreciated, and don't be disheartened by this initial setback
