I see no evidence that this is a major professional organization, or that its credentials are required for any position. DGG ( talk ) 01:24, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I've had a look at the website and it seems to be a major organisation. Its members include many major UK universities, including the University of Edinburgh and Queen's University Belfast. It's also registered as a UK charity and definitely notable. Worth keeping, but the article requires some work. st170e^talk 01:36, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Referenced in various books and an awarder of post-nominals. Seems to be a significant and important professional organisation. AusLondonder (talk) 06:56, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete at best as I also concur the current information is still questionable and I see no obvious inherited notability to suggest instantly keeping and improving. Restart if needed when better, SwisterTwister talk 07:42, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Meets WP:ORGDEPTH per a review of sources presented by Sam Sailor. Also, I don't view the current information as "questionable", whatever that means, Sam Sailor verified information in the article quite nicely (diff). This is often all that it takes; an interested user to come along and improve an article. Also of note is that per WP:NEXIST, topic notability is not based upon the state of sourcing in an article.
