Fails WP:GNG. This is an advertisement for a local historical society, which contains both details on that organization's programming not suitable for an encyclopedia, as well as a fair bit of unsourced local history. Daask (talk) 12:53, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete -- I see nothing notable in this. It might be merged as a brief Heritage note appended to the bio-article on Mossby.  This could have a link to the association's website, which they can probably be trusted to keep up to date, whereas this article would need regular maintenance.

 * Not a good idea. This is large, active regional historic and landscape preservation association that should not be made to disappear into an article about a Civil  War officer. IceFishing (talk) 20:40, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep  When nominated, article had no embedded sources (there were some sources in a list at the foot of the page.)   I have added multiple  reliable sources to the article. And removed the promotional tone. Certainly the page can use improvement, but this organization is a player in the development battles that rock this region, a D.C. suburb/ex-urb in the Northern Virginia tech belt that is one of the fastest growing regions in the U.S..  Recently, this Association led the fight that put the historic black (freedmen) hamlet of Willisville, Virginia on the National Historic Register.   Respectfully requesting that User:Daask and User:Peterkingiron consider revisiting this discussion. Thank you, IceFishing (talk) 18:35, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Article has been improved (thanks !) and yesterday their efforts were rewarded with Willisville being added to the National Register. Missvain (talk) 21:13, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Adequate and sustained coverage in independent sources. Mccapra (talk) 04:01, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
