 * Comment. The current article is so uninformative that it could have been speedily deleted under WP:A7. However, a quick look at the standard GBooks search produces quite a few sources that seem to regard it as a prime example of a community development credit union. If someone can use these sources to write an actual article, I think that there is some likelihood of notability being established - otherwise, unfortunately, deleting this article won't really be a loss to Wikipedia.

 * Keep I don't blame the nom, it could have almost passed for A7 as it was, but added a bit of content, including sources from two different books (with urls) and one award, and would note that the mission and success of the organization would warrant inclusion. It wasn't obvious before, but after some searching, I'm convinced it is now. It still needs more content, I just added enough to get it to pass WP:CORP. Dennis 2&cent; 15:49, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep I did a HighBeam search and came up with 78 hits and I also added a source from HighBeam. I am One of Many (talk) 06:07, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree there was not much there but after the recent edits its enough to stand on its own. Resaltador (talk) 19:01, 15 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep, per my earlier comment, with thanks to User:Dennis Brown as the "someone" I asked for. PWilkinson (talk) 11:21, 19 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment - This is why we need more participation at AFD. The nom wasn't unreasonable, it just took a few eyes to look deeper and a little bit of time.  My favorite outcome at AFD is when we save one that otherwise would have sat in a condition like this one was a week ago.  At least the reader has some quality sources now.
