This article does not seem to meet notability guidelines for organizations (WP:ORG). The references that are cited in the article are closely associated with the organization: one is the agency's website and another a dead link to the California Dept. of Consumer Affairs. I did a search for news articles mentioning the committee, and there are two, but they do not cover the agency in depth. The first mentions a naturopath who is appointed to the committee's board. And the second lists the committee as an opponent of a mandatory vaccine law passed in California in an article covering the bill. There is no independent and in-depth overage of this organization, therefore the organization cannot be notable to those outside the organization. Delta13C (talk) 08:15, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now as this seems an easy case of no better notability and improvement as my searches only found some passing mentions toward the end of searching. SwisterTwister   talk  19:25, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. California Department of Consumer Affairs contains a list of "bureaus, boards, and commissions" in California. Note that Medical Board of California is no better sourced than this one. - Location (talk) 19:34, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Agree. Medical Board of California should also be a candidate for deletion, but I haven't look independently for sources to establish notability yet. Delta13C (talk) 19:52, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to California Department of Consumer Affairs because it otherwise fails GNG. DreamGuy (talk) 20:01, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I have now nominated that listed article as my searches simply found nothing compelling for obvious better notability and improvement. SwisterTwister   talk  20:04, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to California Department of Consumer Affairs, per above. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 23:19, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to California Department of Consumer Affairs. No significant coverage in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. - Location (talk) 02:41, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect seems best for dealing with the notability. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:55, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
