Doesn't seem to be a significant organization. Wikipedia isn't a dumping ground for every organization that has a small conference every couple of years or takes out an ad in a French paper. Article appears to be a permastub, and probably should be merged with another Esperanto article. A7 CSD was declined. pbp 16:30, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I tried finding sources in English, and while my search wasn't exhaustive, I was only able to find one additional source: Tongues are loosened at Esperanto conference in Galway. But given the nature of topic, there may be many additional sources but not in English. We should take some extra care to make sure that this topic isn't notable in non-English speaking countries before deleting. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 17:21, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I asked the editors of our Language Reference Desk to see if they can find any non-English sources.[1] A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 17:42, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. This is an active organization, with representation on European Commission integration platforms, and with relevance to the most important international auxiliary language in the world. A web search of the organization's actual name, instead of the English translation yields hundreds more results. The article can be significantly expanded to cover meetings and the linguistic developments arising from them, not to mention its continued involvement in larger discussions of European integration.
