Manitoba Reading Association

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Regional chapter of an international association. The chapter has appeerntly done little that is striking on its own -- in my view this just barely avoids an A7 speedy deletion. WP:BRANCH says: "As a general rule, the individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not considered notable enough to warrant a separate article – unless they are substantially discussed by reliable independent sources that extend beyond the chapter's local area." Of the five currently cited sources, three are pages of the chapter's own website, and two are passing mentions. A WP:BEFORE search using google, google news, google newspapers, google scholar, and google books found nothing better. Delete, or perhaps redirect to International Reading Association, unless sources clearly establishing notability of the chapter can be provided.

 * I've done a Redirect I also had a hard time finding good independent sources, but the size, geographical reach and longevity of the organization suggested notability. The policy at WP:BRANCH is a good solution, and one I was not aware before. Thanks for the help. I think this AfD can be closed unless someone else is passionate about the topic and wants to expand the page. If so the content is in the page history. Legacypac (talk) 22:26, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Doing a redirect is fine with me. I'll leave this open for a bit in case someone else wants to comment. DES (talk) 22:31, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
