- Speedy delete. The entirety of the article is a blatant WP:COPYVIO, mostly verbatim copying and a little light paraphrasing from here and here. Not sure if speedy deletion can apply once AfD is launched but it meets the criteria. As for this AfD discussion, delete -- there is no independent, significant, reliable and secondary coverage of this credit union, so it fails WP:NORG. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:08, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Dclemens1971: Thanks for that, articles at AfD can be speedily deleted if they meet the criteria. It appears that the article was previously speedily deleted as a copyvio and then recreated by the same SPA with slight tweaks. AusLondonder (talk) 12:22, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - There's mundane news coverage but nothing that I would say gives rise to notability. I've declined the speedy deletion as the original version of the article looks like with was sufficiently different from the credit unions' web page. But the article reads promotionally (not enough for speedy) and there's no point in fixing that wording as this is just not notable. -- Whpq (talk) 13:52, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete given the lack of readily available sources, fails WP:ORGCRIT.Dejaqo (talk) 16:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, and for lack of WP:SIGCOV. Local news of a new VP or the like does not constitute significant coverage. Bearian (talk) 19:15, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
