 * Delete (Changing to Keep, see below) Google News Archive found just the expected society items in the LA Times - most of them from decades ago when newspapers had society pages. Not notable, and I couldn't think of a suitable redirect. Children's Hospital Los Angeles is the only possibility, and it doesn't have anything about its charitable support organizations. --MelanieN (talk) 01:37, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep: This is notable per, , and . SL93 (talk) 04:18, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * This is an old prestigious ball according to the sources. The LIFE Magazine source from 1958 was written because for the first time ever until that year, pictures were released of the ball. The nomination statement is nonsense. SL93 (talk) 04:23, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I am changing my opinion to Keep based on the excellent sources found by SL93. I have added them all to the article, along with a substantial expansion and rewrite. (In fairness to the nominator, the article as originally written conveyed no idea of the significance of the ball.) --MelanieN (talk) 02:28, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
