organizations to enter data in the required formatting. I suspect that now that many who were previously unaware of the page are aware of its existence and utility, it will gain entries with improved formatting and linkage as users learn to use the editing process more effectively. Perhaps the ARRL (American Radio Relay League) could assume a proactive role in better organizing and maintaining the data. RoyRetreat
305:- This page is very useful, but it could be better if it were split up into a bunch of pages by geographical regions and interest group categories. Obvious categories include HF, DX, VHF/UHF, Repeaters, Microwave, EME, Digital Modes, RTTY, PSK31, CW, etc. It is far too long as a single page. Its usefulness will improve if it is split into a bunch of pages. N8KH

At the very least merge into an article on amateur radio organizations in general. However, keeping this list seperate is preferable since these are major organizations in the field of amateur radio, not just 'hobby clubs' or small local clubs. If there can be a list of all the fortune 500 companies

Meets the criteria of being "encyclopedic" in that it provides broad based access to the scope and variety of
Amateur Radio Organizations, Worldwide. It appears to have suffered from lack of knowledge by the organizations which should be listed, and secondarily the limited ability by those

by deleting this article you restart the horror of what was. This article isn't hurting anything... it might annoy you, but it does far more good than bad. Also this list includes active amateur radio organizations which transmit on a world-wide scale and can be heard all over the globe.

per discussion, but clean it up. We can't merge this, and this is one of those scenarios where keeping a list would be vital - many ham clubs aren't going to be in here for probably obvious reasons, but it is also one of those things that are better served by a list than a category.
330:. Borderline case at first glance as it is mostly external links. But this is an encyclopedic topic, this is useful information, and a list like this does have a place in Knowledge (XXG) but would take up too much space in a more general article on amateur radio.
293:. Each of the categories could potentially break off into their own wiki page (i.e. Amateur Radio in Africa, etc.), but until then, the links to the main sources provide access to information that would otherwise be difficult to access.

153:. If this list were to include every amateur radio organisation, past or present, it would become stupidly long, and the topic doesn't merit a series of separate lists.

It's a useful reference list and avoids cluttering the main article. And how does it ever help

and improve in any appropriate way. If the complaint is "arbitrary and haphazard," the solution is to provide inclusion criteria and organize it, not to delete it.

That wasn't a like it argument, it's a fact of life argument. I at one time thought the article wasn't a good idea (see article's talk page) and I changed my mind.
