 * Keep. The editor who removed the prod wrote: "A Google news archive search seems to indicate notability." I would agree. A good AfD nomination of a contested prod will take into account the comments of the editor who removed the prod. – Eastmain (talk) 23:56, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: America First Credit Union is a very large financial organization, with 500,000 members and 4.8 billion in assets. I can't see why this would be nominated for deletion. Gobonobo  T C 06:35, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep: Because the element of deletion policy stating "When nominating due to sourcing or notability concerns, try to confirm that such sources don't exist" somehow slipped past the nom. This is a plainly notable and verifiable institution, as a 5-second Google News search turned up.    Ravenswing  16:13, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Definitely Keep and Add To: America First Credit Union is an incredible organization. My only complaint about this article is that it leaves out Davis, Weber, and Utah Counties (AFCU is very strong in these counties as well as Salt Lake, though it is somewhat overshadowed by UCCU in Utah County).

 * Keep: Article does make notability claim in my opinion, as it claims to be among largest credit unions in the united states.  also, lack of references to 3rd party sources is not a valid basis for nominating, as long as possible references do exist.--Milowent (talk) 00:23, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong keep: America First is absolutely notable. A half million members alone seems to assert that. Green Glass (talk) 02:12, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - almost half a million members, combined with what appears to be some reliable sources, including news agencies, would seem to make this notable enough to qualify for inclusion.  Cocytus   [»talk«]  02:32, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a consumer business with a major general-public presence, and as such it is easily confirmable by coverage in reliable sources. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 17:30, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per the above. JBsupreme (talk) 18:12, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
