A origination that I'm not sure if it meets wiki guidelines or not. I have gotten a couple results while most of them I'm just getting words that go with each other (like one going to Atlantic city) Wgolf (talk) 19:12, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Weak delete According to this the organization formerly existed, but now with all stations amaglamated into ownership by Global, CBC or the CTVs it seems to have dissolved naturally since the corporations usually do what they used to do now. A redirect to the Canadian Association of Broadcasters might be appropriate if we can find what exactly happened to AAB.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 03:45, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak delete Per the above rationale by Mrschimpf, it is not at all clear to me what exactly happened to the AAB though it seems as if the AAB has now been absorbed into the Canadian Association of Broadcasters or has merely changed its name. In either circumstance it would seem appropriate to add a redirect to the CAB. If the AAB simply dissolved then it would be appropriate to delete the page as it is not notable enough to stand on its own unless other sources can be found. It is however possible that I am completely wrong in my assumption of what happened to the AAB and if so another course of action might be necessary. Roborule (talk) 03:02, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I did a ProQuest search in a database that goes all the way back to the 1980s and includes plenty of Maritime newspapers, and found that this really doesn't get any coverage as a thing in its own right, but merely gets namechecked in coverage of other things or people. The most substantive source I found was the obituary of a former AAB president — which clarified quite well that his primary duty in that role was to serve as the Maritime representative on the Canadian Association of Broadcasters board. In other words, this was never really a standalone organization, but merely a regional chapter of the CAB which has since been dissolved by the structural reorganization noted in the CAB's article. Redirect to Canadian Association of Broadcasters (though, to be fair, that article needs some major fixing too.) Bearcat (talk) 13:45, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
