Prod was declined by an administrator. One source was subsequently added, but as a blog it does not qualify as a reliable source to establish this fraternity's notability. It merely attests its existence. Google returns nothing of value either. Delete. Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 05:10, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per well-explained nom. Good faith searches confirm it exists but are unable to suggest a reason why it is more notable than any other fraternity. (See WP:MILL) The sources revealed by those searches do not amount to significant coverage in reliable, independent sources, so the article fails the general notability guidelines at WP:N. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:49, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- While a BLOG, it it owned and operated by the Executive Director of the American Osteopathic Association. It is a new organization, but is key for medical residency directors researching its importance when evaluating incoming physicians. There are other entries in the medical fraternities that have similar levels of interest but are used nonetheless.

- The Gold Humanism article has problems too and maybe should also be nominated; see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Some first steps to saving the article would be to explain what on Earth an "honor society" is (or wikilink to a relevant article) and why any honor society would ever be notable. Also you should provide independent sources explaining the importance and notability of the organisation, and summarise those sources within the article. Currently the article reads, essentially, as "Omega Beta Iota is a group, that has membership preconditions." - DustFormsWords (talk) 22:04, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
