Non-notable junior college organization. My attempt at a speedy delete was reverted, an attempt at redirecting to the college article was reverted, so let's go this way. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 05:04, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge to Diablo Valley College. There is some local coverage of this institution (which is not an "organization", it is a program of the college) but not enough for notability. By the way I really hate to see a thoughtful article like this get nominated for speedy deletion within two minutes of its creation! Give them at least a little chance to develop it! --MelanieN (talk) 16:26, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It would be fine to keep if there was anything to indicate that this is notable. It's not any more notable than any other college's programs.  Plus it should be noted that this is the third incarnation of the article.  The Mark of the Beast (talk) 18:43, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Third incarnation? Evidence of that has not been shown. In any case I am not arguing for "keep" but for "merge and redirect" to the article about the college. There is some third-party coverage, but not enough for notability. BTW I see that an administrator earlier redirected it to the college, apparently in response to your call for speedy-deletion, but the author reverted the redirect to the full article. So if the result of this discussion is redirect, maybe the redirect page should be salted in some way to prevent reversion. --MelanieN (talk) 19:18, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Just look at the atricle's log to see the two previous deletions. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 20:42, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Diablo Valley College Not enough for stand-alone article--GrapedApe (talk) 02:11, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Not seeing any evidence (or even claims) of notability, so nothing to merge that isn't already at Diablo Valley College. A redirect would suffice. --DeLarge (talk) 21:53, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge per GrapedApe and MelanieN. Just because it's not notable enough for its own stand-alone article, there's plenty of meat left on the bone for a decent section on the college's article.  Not-notable does not lead to deletion every time. Bearian (talk) 22:46, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
