Advertising and no indication of significance. Thanks,  Lixxx235 Got a complaint? 21:08, 28 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep, building a good article here will be difficult because as, what appears to be, an extremely commercial and smarmy organization, coverage of the CHBA is tainted and almost defined by their self-promotion (I myself came here to this AfD following the editing of User:Lizleung who I suspect is a paid editor, or at least has some serious WP:COI issues), but I do think that the CHBA is notable. For example, Google Books finds 2.5k mentions. Google News finds 45 mentions in the last month. Antrocent (&#9835;&#9836;) 21:37, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. A quick Google news search turns up plenty of recent coverage of this organization. The article itself isn't great, but it's not promotional so I see no reason to delete it. Tchaliburton (talk) 03:39, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above. This is a lobby group and the coverage needs to reflect that, but there is a lots of new coverage, both of political activism on behalf of the industry and of the 'home of the year' competitions. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:03, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - This seems to be the primary national association of general contractors for residential construction in Canada, listing presidents back to 1943. Primarily a lobbying organization, it seems from a spin around the internets, with numerous provincial and local level chapters. THIS from the Saskatoon Star Phoenix details the election of a Saskatoon builder as head of the organization in 2011 and covers the organization in some substantial detail, noting the membership of 8,000 firms in the organization. THIS details a partnership between Lethbridge College and the CHBA. Both a significant and long-lived professional organization and one which passes GNG, in my estimation.
