Blatant advertisement with a tone of an About Us brochure. No significant coverage to satisfy GNG found. Article created, maintained, and likely deprodded by massive sockpuppet ring. James (talk/contribs) 00:06, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep - There are hundreds of results in google news, over 100 at newspapers.com, and many useful reliable sources at a plain google search. I agree there are strong NPOV issues, but I don't see an argument for deletion. Smmurphy(Talk) 01:14, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. I share the concerns over the promotional tone of the article - e.g. the lead "The Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) was created out of a need to document Filipino American history for succeeding generations. Before Dorothy Laigo Cordova and her husband Fred Cordova took up the task, there was a paucity of information available about the Filipino American community's history in the United States." - is horrendous. However this should be fairly easy to rectify and is not grounds for deletions - worst case this could be stubbed down.Icewhiz (talk) 06:35, 11 January 2018 (UTC) I toned it down a bit. I considered taking an axe to the list of FANHS Chapters out of DIRECTORY concerns - but left this in.Icewhiz (talk) 06:42, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep  After researching, I too found sources and results on search engines such as Google and Yahoo!. I would echo the promotional concerns of James and Icewhiz. House1090 (talk) 07:06, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The subject is clearly notable, and thanks to the efforts of User:Smmurphy and User:Icewhiz, the promotional nature has been toned down.Jacona (talk) 19:53, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
