Ohio Credit Union System

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

not clear how this system of financial institutions is notable. No claim of notability in the article. RadioFan (talk) 01:24, 16 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep The Ohio Credit Union System is notable in several ways. Founded in 1934, it represents over 400 credit unions with a membership of over 2.6 million people in Ohio.  The System lobbies the government and includes a non-profit charitable organization that awards grants and scholarships as well as providing disaster relief.  This article needs to be improved, not deleted.  Gobonobo  T C 04:53, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * the age or size of the institution does not establish notability--RadioFan (talk) 16:26, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Size is often a good proxy for notability. In this case, I consider that a state-wide organization is likely to be notable. -- Eastmain (talk) 01:27, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - for heavens sake, this is a financial institution with unusual methods and a social outlook in a nation where socialism is an anathema. It performs to the public good within an industry notorious for doing the opposite.  It is self-evidently more notable than some of the comic books, soap actors, and hole-in-a-corner musicians that litter wikipedia with impunity.  The article could be more interesting, mind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brunnian (talk • contribs) 09:39, 23 November 2009
 * Keep - Meets notability requirements --Fbifriday (talk) 19:50, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment My main concern here is that each of the third-party sources in the article do not talk about the Ohio Credit Union System, they refer to credit unions in Ohio in general without naming this specific association. I would like to see what each of the keep !voters above think about that.  Jujutacular  T · C 22:43, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
