- The Prometheus Society has been active for over 40 years. It has had hundreds of members, and its journal, Gift of Fire, has had over 200 issues printed. Every article I know of that discusses high IQ societies more selective than Mensa mentions it. There's no other high IQ society more selective than Mensa which is better known, with the possible exception of Mega. Promking (talk) 06:44, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- The Prometheus Society holds a prominent place in the history of high IQ societies. It accepts people who have an IQ at the 4 sigma level, with a minimum IQ of 164. As stated, this is the best known IQ society above the Mensa level. I've been a member for many years. 2604:2D80:A682:5800:E0EE:FD15:96AA:925A (talk) 18:54, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: GNG fail. Coverage is routine and/or insignificant. Journals are not independent coverage. Being a group of alpha sigma level geniuses doesn't confer notability. Macktheknifeau (talk) 07:22, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Yeah, the journal articles are primarily on topics related to social science, as opposed to the society itself (which seems not to be mentioned at all). Although there seems to be some secondary coverage, there is not the widespread secondary coverage required by GNG. GuardianH (talk) 15:48, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
