Kept in 2007 in recognition of their work post-Katrina, but fourteen years on, there's no evidence via BEFORE that their work is notable. A BEFORE identifies only name dropping of the agency, but nothing independent and in depth. I have no doubt this text is from a prior version of their website, but without sourcing I cannot re-write it to be something that isn't a brochure. Star  Mississippi  17:52, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - Unsourced and not notable. Gentleman wiki (talk) 19:43, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - being unsourced is a fixable problem, especially when we have quite a few sources available to help. Agree these are not necessarily easy to find unless you search for "CPEX" and various combinations of the organisation's name, rather than just its on-Wikipedia name. The organisation produces a range of reports and so is cited extensively in government reports and various news articles. But there are a few that provide a bit more detail, like this one. Notability also not being temporary, if it was notable then, we really need a solid case to consider it not-notable now.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 07:38, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, cited in many government reports and news articles.Jackattack1597 (talk) 19:00, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Looking through the first 15 pages in a google books search, there appears to be many sources with more than trivial coverage; particularly in relation to Hurricane Katrina and as a national model for emergency response planning at the local level. Also, if one searches under their former name (Plan Baton Rouge) or CPEX, more sources come up. I think there is enough there to pass WP:NORG/GNG.4meter4 (talk) 20:52, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
