Apparently completely non-notable organisation. No hits on GNews and no verifiable hit on GBooks for the supposed official English-language name "Algerian Association of Ice and Inline Hockey", one passing mention on each for "Hockey Algeria". No hit and no verifiable hit on GNews and GBooks respectively for the actual name, "Association Algérienne de Hockey sur Glace et Inline".

• Redirect to Algerian Association of Ice and Inline Hockey: Fix to official English-language name per WP:official name. Was G6 but declined by Justlettersandnumbers. AaronWikia (talk) 16:03, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment The official name is in fact "Hockey Algeria" as the announcement of their membership into the IIHF yesterday confirms. Whether they are actually notable.....I doubt it. I do not think they have anything more than a facebook page and a twitter account for now but there is news about them being accepted into the IIHF at least.18abruce (talk) 17:42, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Given our very poor coverage of Algeria I think we should leave this article for a while and see if it develops into something more notable. Rathfelder (talk) 19:09, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It is the official governing body of ice hockey in Algeria, and has just recently been accepted into the IIHF. Other national governing bodies have articles, and while that obviously doesn't matter here, it does show that these articles do exist. However there doesn't seem to be much coverage of the federation, but that isn't exactly a surprise as hockey isn't exactly popular in Algeria. I would assume any coverage, if it exists, would be primarily in French or Arabic, and I added something from the Arabic version of the page, but I don't know either language so can't really do much more.
