Canadian Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete. As at Articles for deletion/Ontario Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, this is an article about an organization with no strong claim to passing WP:ORG and no strong reliable sourcing -- as written, the article basically amounts to "this is an organization that exists", and the sourcing is almost entirely to primary sources (own webpage, web pages of directly affiliated member companies, press releases, etc.) and glancing namechecks of its existence in media articles about other things. Not a single source here, in fact, actually constitutes substantive reliable source coverage about the organization -- and nearly all of it is simply reference-bombing the unexceptional statement that "the chamber promotes supplier diversity". (And since the creator has been throwing around accusations that the articles are being challenged for homophobic reasons rather than "non-compliance with Wikipedia policies around notability and reliable sourcing" reasons, I will once again remind everyone involved that I am an out gay man myself.)

 * Keep - Canadian equivalent of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. Me-123567-Me (talk) 16:57, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * "Canadian equivalent of something else" is not an automatic notability freebie in the absence of adequate reliable source coverage about it — especially when the something else is also so poorly written and sourced that it's also up for deletion. Bearcat (talk) 17:04, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Doesn't satisfy WP:ORGDEPTH at this time. There are quite a few passing mentions, but nothing much about the organisation itself. This is something which might have a claim of significance but at the moment, not enough secondary coverage to write an article. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 13:01, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
