I can't find reliable secondary sources on this organization. There are online mentions of people or organizations participating in these events, but I haven't found any reliable secondary sources about the organization itself. I have asked on the talk page if there are sources in languages besides English but have received no response. There is a slow edit war going on about who is in charge of the organization and where it is headquartered. There are no sources for those changes outside of organizational websites.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  12:30, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep. First off: Kudos @SchreiberBike for asking at the article talk page first. Alas AfD discussion are more visible. The article currently is in a sorry state, with a recent edit war (of COI editors?) and all. However, some sources exist; for some reason no one wants to put them in the article, and instead rather fight *facepalm*. Here's what I found

• One okayish source presently in the article is this one, where the German Olympic Sports Confederation issued a press release.
• this book goes into some detail on TAFISA and "Sport for All", which seems to be a rather German concept, basically meaning "sport without competition" (see de:Breitensport).
• this one is in German, but goes on to claim that TAFISA is recognized by the IOC, UNESCO and other organizations. Alas, it doesn't seem fully independent, with a foreword given by the "general secretary" of TAFISA.
• this book seems more independent, but does not go into much detail.
• here it is mentioned as an international umbrella organisation.
• here is another brief mention.

In conclusion... sources are sparse. I'm frankly not sure if what I found is enough to establish notability, but it might be that there are yet more sources out there. I'm mostly leaning keep because of their interaction with larger organizations, which at least for the German olympic confederation is proven. --LordPeterII (talk) 23:47, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here, I found three more sources of mediocre (to low) quality: a German one, a press release and something about their event --LordPeterII (talk) 23:55, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
