Keep Is discussed in a peer-reviewed study here [1], plus with other coverages in Gnews, I think we're ok. Oaktree b (talk) 20:08, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And here [2], second article from 1949 helps, rest are also coverage. Oaktree b (talk) 20:09, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
keep This is a well-known organization that has been covered by scholarly sources and industry publications. I added some citations to the article, including an external link (can't access the full text) of a McGraw-Hill book about the organization. There's more out there but this was a selection of quality sources.

Update: I've added two citations, one to Perrin, The Incomparable Salesmen which is a book-length study of MDRT members. That's the "peer-reviewed study" (probably not) cited by @Oaktree b above. The 1949 article is paywalled.

I also took the opportunity wikify the article. The Perrin book along with any of citations 3, 4, or 5 should be enough to meet WP:NORG. The book "Flock of Eagles" is useful for the history but it's published by MDRT which probably disqualifies it for notability. Oblivy (talk) 07:16, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Oaktree b and Oblivy. Passes WP:ORG/WP:GNG. Sal2100 (talk) 22:25, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
