 * Symbol question.svg I can't help feeling that the article lacks focus and all the suggested hooks are a bit odd. The article purports to be about a society. It then drifts off into the detailed construction of a building that the organization acquired in 1984 and which later became its headquarters. Then there is the section "Oceana Historical Park". What connection does this have with the Society? Nor do I really understand the importance of the "organization within an organization" concept. Perhaps I'm being a bit dim.

 * O.K. I'll work this next week on improving the article.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:58, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Made improvements to make clearer. How does it look now?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:44, 27 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol voting keep.svg The article has been improved along the lines suggested. It is new enough and long enough. The hook is cited inline (in the Notes section), the image is properly licensed, the article is neutral and I detected no close paraphrasing/copyright issues.
