This is probably a stupid question but I noticed the BASFA web page does
not link to the wikipedia entry either. Could you add that link to the
links page at basfa.com?

My IP address (as usual - regardless of where I live or try to access)
is blocked from signing in to Wikipedia. The major complaint seems to
be lack of external "independent" web pages mentioning BASFA.
In addition to argument, providing such links and information would be
of help to prevent the deletion or threat of deletion for the future.
If you own an appropriate website, it might be a good thing to put
some information about BASFA on it, then provide someone who can edit
the Wikipedia page with the link.
Here's what I can offer:
http://www.radio-sf.com/home/radio-scifi-links
And a link for the twitter hashtag #basfa (so talk it up people -
right now there's only one tweet listed! "older tweets no available")
http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23basfa
Science Fiction/San Francisco (which publishes the minutes)
http://efanzines.com/SFSF/index.htm
Hope that helps!

Not sure where to put this in our wikipedia article, but File 770 has a
brief article on us http://file770.com/?p=1668 . If nothing else, it
shows that someone thought we were worthy of a News Report.

What is needed is items that can be credibly maintained to be mentions
in paper media.
Here is an SFGate.com citation of BASFA in a June 26, 2005 article by
reporters Delfin Vigil and Michael Berry about Bay Area bookstores.
It's somewhere between possible and likely that the articles.sfgate.com
item reflects a contemporaneous article in the _S.F. Chronicle_, though
I can't prove that.

It's a pity that the BASFA Web site hasn't kept links to articles that
mention us, as I'm sure there have been a few; they're just challenging
to find. Our current archive for the mailing list goes back only to
2007. I've searched the cumulative mbox file
(http://lists.basfa.org/private.cgi/basfa-basfa.org.mbox/basfa-basfa.org.mbox),
and it has plenty of mentions of magazine articles on a variety of
things, but none about BASFA itself.
