Scientific organisation. No assertion of importance (
WP:A7), no sources to indicate notability (
WP:GNG). A Google Search shows that the organisation is somewhat frequently mentioned in the media, which does suggest a certain prominence (hence no speedy deletion), but I've not found any detailed third-party coverage that would support an article. Strangely, its subcommittee
HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee seems to have much better sourcing. Sandstein 10:56, 2 March 2020 (UTC)reply
KeepThe page was viewed over 430 views in the last few month, has existed since 2007, and this page exists in Wikipedia in 20 languages with English being one of those. Their Committee page is in 10 languages as well so these pages and their contents are being well used by people. ₪Rickn

The article is hardly more than a stub, but orgnaisations of this sort are notable.

Keep yes this is a noteable organization in the field and well-known in the field. They have an important annual meeting and publish a journal. --

Keep and consider merging sub-topics into this one.

All of these "keep"s do not provide references to reliable sources that cover the organisation in some depth, as required by
WP:N. If it is notable, and it may well be, then such sources should exist. Sandstein 16:48, 4 March 2020 (UTC)reply
Here is an article about them in Genome Medicine which is part of Springer Nature.
Here is an article about them announcing their journal, hosted on the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health website.
Here is an article in Nature Genetics talking about their direction to "establishing a common language for the human genome", training course, grants, and meetings following the completion of the human genome project.
Here is their website as "the resource for approved human gene nomenclature", updated 4 March 2020, stating support from the National Human Genome Research Institute, Wellcome Trust grant, and Transforming Genetic Medicine Initiative. These links were on the first page of Google search results, part of 83k hits that come up when searching for "Human Genome Organisation". Another 2.8k hits are within Google Scholar. ₪Rickn

Keep per comment with references just above. It is a well known organization.
My very best wishes (
