 * Delete, per nom. Plus a bit of socking seems to be going on here, which should probably be looked into. Nsk92 (talk) 02:35, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Yes, I'm sure you know, but to keep everyone in the loop User:12.149.202.41 and User:64.85.252.225 have been reported as possible sockpuppets, see Sockpuppet_investigations/Sgaran. -- Nuujinn (talk) 12:27, 1 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. In the absence of reliable sources indicating notability, this centre doesn't appear notable. Google News has no hits, and Google Web seems to find only Wikipedia mirrors and the centre's own site. I would have said merge into Steven A. Garan, but that's also up for AfD. -- Radagast 3 (talk) 00:39, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. I can find no published third-party coverage about this centre or other evidence of passing WP:ORG. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:41, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
