I was really up in the air about this one.  However, after reviewing the guidelines under otability|Notability and the way it applies to organizations like this one, as listed under '''Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|3.1 Non-commercial organizations''', I came down on the keep side for two reasons.  The first is that the requirement for inclusion states that “…The scope of their activities is national or international in scale. “ This can be judged easily by looking at their membership list and can be verified by the coverage in the book Science Fiction Culture, as shown here http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=oCvIZpCSRA0C&oi=fnd&pg=PA11&dq=%22General+Technics%22+science+fiction&ots=5-EqcfpSrM&sig=DRcFuB8Q-_yilC04SNmu2EinjGM  The second reason is that: “…Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by third-party, independent, reliable sources.”  This again can be easily proved by this reference. www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Hard_science_fiction.  Tough call, but have to go with Keep.  Thanks
