The article is original research and according to the article's creator, a member of the group, (see article's talk page) there are no verifiable sources independent of the group to indicate notability. ragesoss 05:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry if my explanation seemed like a bait and switch. The issues of verifiability, reliable sources, and notability are closely intertwined. In a nutshell, the issue is that there are no sources about the IS group independent of the group; the Haskins website in nominally independent, but obviously the informal connection is significant. The convention on Wikipedia is to exclude such material based on the Notability guideline, at least until an independent published source exists. The establishment of notability is dependent on verifiability through reliable sources, but establishing notability has the additional burden that the sources must be independent. COI is (or at least supposed to be) treated more as a user behavior issue than a content issue; the decision of whether to keep or delete content is, in theory, independent of COI issues regarding who created the article.--ragesoss 23:46, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, you bring up a lot; I'll do the best I can, and try to get a few other editors to weigh in.
