Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (all information is based and sourced from documented facts. Also, we are an established Credit Union interested in helping people to properly manage their finances. Our goal is to establish our organization as an alternative to banks and our Credit Union competitors with similar names.) --Consumers Cooperative Credit Union (CCU) (talk) 15:54, 16 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is not a business directory, so a company is not entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists. All topics must be notable by Wikipedia's definition to merit inclusion. In the specific case of a company, it must meet the notability criteria for companies and organizations. For this to happen, the company must have already received significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. We have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself, as this is an inherent conflict of interest. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:00, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
