Transylvanian Society of Dracula is a non-profit organisation established in Romania. It has link with other sisteror-ganisations around the world in countries such as USA, Canada or Italy. Dr. Massimo Introvigne is the president of the Italian chapter of the TSD, Prof. Dr. Elizabeth Miller (recognized internationally for her expertise on Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula ) is the president of the Canadaian Chapter ([1]) and so on.
Other people involved in TSD have refferences to the Transylvania Society of Dracula in their pages on Wikipedia, such as J. Gordon Melton (the American President of the The TSD) or Mark Benecke.
I do not consider that TSD page should be deleted. TSD is a legitim oragnisation and widely known in it's field. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deepbluero (talk • contribs)
Article easily fits within the Wikipedia category "fandom" [[2]]. A LexisNexis Academic search, utilizing the name of the organization, returns 54 articles centred on the group in major newspapers in North America and western Europe since the mid 1990's. I encountered one claim that stated that it is the largest academically based organization in the world dedicated to the study of "vampire lore". Current references in the article are not demonstrative of the range of citations available in support of the group's notability.Deconstructhis (talk) 18:41, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
These sections did not seem to have the organisation as their subject and have been moved here:
Perhaps this material might be better presented in another article? the skomorokh 18:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
I didn't know that this page existed, actually. I'll try to cobble together a wikipedia appropriate version of what's going on with the org (I'm a member), and then we can see if the information should remain here or go somewhere else. Strangely enough the TSD is the only org doing serious work on the topic, and the journal does meet normal academic peer review quality standards, so it should be noted on wikipedia... it just doesn't really appear as such from this page. --Jasonnolan (talk) 16:27, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
