Thank you ScrapIronIV. I recently created a page for the Society for Benefit Cost Analysis, and disclosed my membership in the Society. As a member, I pay dues, but I do not receive any compensation nor any other material benefit. This is a professional academic society, not to my knowledge involved in any public controversy. I think my description of it was factual, verifiable, and neutral in tone. I understand we disagree about whether it is notable. What prompted me to create the page is that, during a web search, I landed on Wikipedia's "SBCA" disambiguation page. It listed four organizations -- none of them, in my view, nearly as notable as the Society. This struck me, and would strike anyone familiar with the Society, as a weakness in Wikipedia -- one that I sought to remedy. EMF2GO
