Not sure where's the appropriate place to add comments on a Mytalk page. But thanks for the warm welcome and the gooey plate of cookies! And thanks for the great edits on the IBOAI article. I made a couple more to make the page read better. Looks terrific. -- AlanEarl ( talk) 17:45, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I have looked at the references and I am still of the view that the coverage is not significant enough to demonstrate notability per WP:ORG. I can see only 2 or 3 third party/independent references and the coverage there doesn't amount to much. I am afraid the "important in its sphere" is not the same as notability as that term is used on Wikipedia. I would also suggest that you remove the host of external links embedded in the article, per WP:EL. I can move the draft to article space for you if you wish, but I doubt that it would be long before it is nominated for deletion. – ukexpat ( talk) 14:35, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
