316:: Alternate criteria for specific types of organizations: Non-commercial organizations "Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards: The scope of their activities is national or international in scale. Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple, third-party, independent, reliable sources. Additional considerations are: Factors that have attracted widespread attention: The organization’s longevity, size of membership, major achievements...." Regarding the above, this organization has 120,000 members worldwide (therefore international in scale), and is recognized as the only international in scope knowledge management professional society, and has existed since 2001 (longevity - longer than any other KM association). Regarding LFaraone's above comments, the CV and web site citations were in reference to the named individuals (who are in themselves notables within the knowledge management community) and weren't intended as outside source secondary references for the organization itself. Given the above, I believe that the organization meets the criteria, in the same way that Project_Management_Institute does. I'll work on assembling and documenting the secondary source citations to add to the page.

Am currently gathering many outside sources references to provide/incorporate -- frankly, I could use some assistance in figuring out exactly what needs to be done and changed on the page to bring it up to standards.

Yes, I hear what you're saying but I think that you've misunderstood my above -- I have found those secondary sources, but haven't yet had the chance to make revisions and additions and will get to that shortly.

There's no source for those membership numbers. The main issue is there doesn't seem to be any discussion of the subject independant of the organization itself and its members, let alone

339:. This isn't a judgement on the organization, but is mainly related to whether a reasonable encyclopedia article can be written about it that meets our guidelines.
