• Keep Partnered with the Wildlife Conservation Network [1], and mentioned by the current IUCN report as the crucial agency in the species' conservation (the entire "Conservation actions" section is based on their work) [2]. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:36, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed up the dead links (there is a perfectly fine English version of their homepage, and WCN has various materials). - And no, being cited by the IUCN for the entire conservation program is not a bleedin' "passing mention". --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:57, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Well attested to have a leading role in the preservation of the Andean cat, as noted above and in Fiona Sunquist; Mel Sunquist (2014). The Wild Cat Book: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Cats. University of Chicago Press. p. 123. ISBN 978-0-226-78026-9. (English) and here and here (Spanish): Noyster (talk), 11:35, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Non-trivial coverage here (article is as much about the organization as the cat); non-trivial coverage here (interview about ACA rescue efforts for an urban Andean cat that they eventually relocated to the wild). Covered repeatedly in books [3], one of which (The Biology and Conservation of Wild Felids) says of the organization: "Over the past decade, field biologists working under the Andean Cat Alliance (AGA in Spanish—www.gatoandino.org), have contributed to advancing our knowledge on the ecology and distribution of this species", and "an international network of research teams" (can't see the full chapter in Google Books snippet view [4], so it's unclear how much more the organization is discussed in it, but this is more than just mention that the organization exists). Wild Cats: Past & Present profiles (not just lists) the organization in its chapters on felid conservation groups [5]. The Wild Cat Book: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Cats provides history about the founding of the organization, which is also not just a passing mention [6]. The journal of International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, Species Survival Commission's Cat Specialist Group covers a joint Andean Cat Alliance, BIOTA, and WCN 6-month series of field surveys and their results (though I can't see the full article) [7]. Mentioned and/or cited repeatedly in journals [8]; haven't looked into the details. Nor have I searched under the Spanish name of the organization yet, since what's already turned up with an English search is sufficient to establish notability. WP:BEFORE was clearly not done properly.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ<  18:54, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
