The organization recently had a name change from Hebrew Free Loan Association to Hebrew Free Loan Association of Northeast Ohio. Please see recent articles one the organization: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=%22hebrew+free+loan+association%22+cleveland&safe=off. I am surprised to hear that a continuously existing 111-year-old non profit that has served over 25,000 people in an area as small as Cleveland can be non-notable?

 * Comment. It's 110 years old and the article already has several reliable sources; searches for <"Hebrew Free Loan Association" Cleveland> identify others, such as an entry in the Encyclopedia of Cleveland . If this long-lived charity is deemed insufficiently notable for its own article, some of the content and sources from here might be appropriately incorporated at Gemach or International Association of Hebrew Free Loans. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:23, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article in the Cleveland Plains Dealer was expressly about the subject. Pax 08:35, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Sources brought forth during this deletion debate show that this charity, going back well over a century, is notable. Disclosure: my wife and I received an interest-free loan from the Hebrew Free Loan Association in San Francisco many years ago. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  06:06, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
