 * Merge: to ACM-W per nom. No need for this to be a standalone article. Marquardtika (talk) 22:05, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think a list of chapters would be appropriate in the main article either. Reywas92Talk 22:46, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep as separate list. ACM is one of the premier world-wide computing organizations and ACM-W represents a substantial number of members in a large organization. Merging the list into the main ACM-W page would unnecessarily complicate the page. When reviewing [|Wikipedia's reasons for deletion], it doesn't meet the criteria for deletion: Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following (subject to the condition that improvement or deletion of an offending section, if practical, is preferable to deletion of an entire page):
 * 1) Content that meets at least one of the criteria for speedy deletion
 * 2) Copyright violations and other material violating Wikipedia's non-free content criteria
 * 3) Vandalism, including inflammatory redirects, pages that exist only to disparage their subject, patent nonsense, or gibberish
 * 4) Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content (but not an article about an advertising-related subject)
 * 5) Content forks (unless a merger or redirect is appropriate)
 * 6) Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes)
 * 7) Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed
 * 8) Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP, and so forth)
 * 9) Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons
 * 10) Redundant or otherwise useless templates
 * 11) Categories representing overcategorization
 * 12) Files that are unused, obsolete, or violate the non-free policy
 * 13) Any other use of the article, template, project, or user namespace that is contrary to the established separate policy for that namespace
 * 14) Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia

Merging growing lists into the main page would not clarify the information or make it more accessible. Instead, the list needs to be updated to include additional information about this notable organization. We could definitely use more help getting the article completed.Cypherquest (talk) 12:47, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Where is the independent evidence that these chapters are notable in their own right?Rathfelder (talk) 13:31, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTDIR. All chapters appear non-notable therefore the article is not suitable for merging either. Ajf773 (talk) 20:15, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:NOTDIR Andy Dingley (talk) 22:11, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Remember the policy: the notability of a list does not depend on the notability of each item of the list, rather, the set of items must meet the notability requirements. Thus, for this page to remain, we need significant coverage of the set of ACM-W chapters in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. However, outside of the organization's website and website's belonging to the individual chapters, I cannot find many sources. The few sources I can find [1] [2] speak more to the notability of the ACM-W than of this list. BenKuykendall (talk) 22:21, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
