 * Selective Merge to McMaster University, which presently has no mention of this research center. This will improve and enhance the merge target article, per WP:PRESERVE. North America1000 23:49, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NORG. Also, considering that the creator's first edit was a vandalism, I would be careful about merge - this can be a hoax, or such. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:41, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * That was not vandalism, he was actually fixing some poorly written prose. Check the diff again. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:42, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * It's not a hoax insofar that its existence is verifiable. Here's the official website. North America1000 14:47, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, thanks. Of course it's not a hoax. It's instantly verifiable by a Google Search, its university website is right there--including quite a few news article mentions in major Canadian outlets, mostly tied to its director, a Gail Elliott. Honest to god, some of the garbage I see at Afd...  Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:52, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Selective merge per Northamerica1000. It seems to be doing some vital work and its director, Gail Elliott, has been quoted in news stories about aging issues by CBC, National Post, etc. but it does not (yet) seem to have enough independent notability for a separate article. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:11, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Selective Merge per Northamerica1000. Not enough coverage for a standalone article, and merging some of the info would definitely fill a void in the target article.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:26, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge as mentioned, perhaps not solidly notable but at best can be mentioned there. SwisterTwister   talk  19:03, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
