• Soft Delete -- generally suspicious of "International X of Y" and look at the possibility of fraud etc., but Googling I was able to confirm that it is a society whose conferences etc. extend back into the 1990s (before predatory/faux academic conferences were generally a think we needed to look out for). Serious academics have presented there (https://www.lib.uci.edu/library/publications/philosophy/santas.html) and there is plenty of evidence that meetings have existed from back then (https://orb.binghamton.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1219&context=sagp) -- from all this, it doesn't take too much citation of importance to show that this association (or at least its conferences) should be notable. (I have a low bar for academic societies w/ more than 25 years of conferences). Somehow though, despite all that, I cannot find evidence the society has made notable contributions to the field that would justify meeting GNG or a subject-specific notability guideline. I'm saying Soft Delete, because I wouldn't be surprised that someone (from Greece or w/ better paper archive access) could find evidence of the society's notability, and if that happens after the article is deleted, I would not hold this AfD (or at least my delete vote) against recreating the article w/ more evidence.
