- Delete, no assertion of notability per WP:ORG. 1,564 members is pretty big for a country with a population of 328,536 (that's about 0.5% of the population), but per nom we need WP:Reliable sources to confirm this, and you would expect to see a fair level of coverage for the organization if it really was that big. It's part of a WP:Walled garden of articles about organizations that are headed by Ali Mohamed (Maldives). Captain Conundrum (talk) 13:11, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Incidentally, there is another Carrom association in the Maldives (Carrom Association of Maldives) that is part of the Asian Carrom Confederation. I found this out as they were founding members of the International Carrom Federation back in 1988. The author of the article here rewrote that article to imply that Ali Mohamed was a founder in 2012. I've reverted to an older version of the article. Peridon (talk) 13:51, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that there are three accounts involved: User:Aminath shafana (author of this article), User:Shafana Aminath (the editor that you just reverted at International Carrom Federation), and the now blocked User:Awesome Carrom Club. Also note that I renamed Ali Mohamed (Maldives) from Ali Mohamed (Awesome), and Dart Association of Maldives (created by User:Aminath shafana) had a personal invitation from Ali Mohamed. Maybe she was quoting him from their brochure or something. But it all smells a bit like socks. Captain Conundrum (talk) 14:04, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I would say it quacks too... Peridon (talk) 14:11, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There was also a "fourth" editor contesting deletion in their first edit at Talk:Scrabble Association of Maldives, but I didn't make a note of the username. It will probably turn up if there's an SPI with Checkuser. Captain Conundrum (talk) 14:17, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- For the record, one there quacks too - User:Aminath shima. The other objector was a bit more original - User:Shafiu Ahmed (Rizhath). Peridon (talk) 15:01, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- FWIW, I've fixed the EL in the ref: there was some sort of h-like character masquerading as an h. I'm either parading my ignorance of Unicode here, or there's a MediaWiki bug at work. At any rate, it's clickable now. Captain Conundrum (talk) 13:57, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Clickable, yes, thank you. Useless as a notability reference - it's a table of winners in a 2011 tournament. Merely shows existence of the club - as a member of the tournament's organisers, the Carrom Association of Maldives (a redirect to the Asian Confederation).
