April 2021: Wikipedia requires "notability"
For your local credit union to merit an article in Wikipedia, it must be what Wikipedia calls "notable". That is, it must have been written about, in depth, by reliable, published, independent sources. See WP:Notability and Reliable sources.--Quisqualis (talk) 16:13, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. I have cited several newspaper articles that include us and we are #44 in the entire nation. Does that meet the notability standard?

VPMSX (talk) 17:09, 20 April 2021 (UTC)


 * What does "#44 in the entire nation" mean? Among what? On what basis? According to whom? Something like U.S. News & World Report, or something like "America's Top Credit Unions" run by the America's Top Service Providers Company that also sells plaques commemorating same (and licenses use of a medallion-shaped "Named One Of America's Top Credit Unions" service mark on websites and printed materials), all for fees? What were the selection criteria? Who were the selectors?
 * I work in a profession in which a lot of people declare themselves "Named Best In [This State]" because they paid a couple thousand bucks to be listed in a directory that no one has ever heard of, no one ever reads, and isn't even discernibly available to the general public unless one knows exactly which keyword superlatives to use on Google. But one gets a plaque for one's reception area, and the ability to display that little licensed seal that has a gold ruffled border and therefore, to many, must mean that it's legit and the service provider is an axiomatic expert. But not only does that kind of "ranking" not meet WP:GNG guidelines, it is frankly deleterious as bought "notability".  -  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  17:54, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

I apologize if I somehow cited that incorrectly. It is the S&P that ranked us as 44th. Extemporaneously.
