An article that is not really notable. It has been stale since 2012, without a single reference. The tone is likely promotional since the tone is probably a copy paste. Artix Kreiger (talk) 13:59, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep This is a WP:SOFIXIT case as the major teacher's union in Ohio. Definitely needs some major help but we generally tend to keep state teacher's union articles without exception. I'll look at things throughout the next seven days and hope others can help too.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 00:26, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. While it appears they are semi-regularly asked to comment on issues that a teachers union would get involved in by various news organisations, the union itself doesn't appear to be notable. Unless someone can find some significant independent reliable sources on the Union itself I consider it non-notable.Macktheknifeau (talk) 14:42, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep 452 Google news results when you click of the last page of results for an accurate count. They set guidelines that schools follow, and the media does seek them out when questioning about things, so its a notable organization.   D r e a m Focus  03:09, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep- Obviously a bad article in its current state, but they have some 125,000 members. I'm not sure about Ohio, but in many states, the teacher's union is one of the most powerful political groups in the state.--Rusf10 (talk) 07:30, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, an organization with this size and political role should be presumed notable unless there is a compelling argument to the contrary. Overzealous rejection of union pages due to a decline in the financial viability of labor reporting is also WP:RECENT and should be avoided. Audiovideodiscoo (talk) 19:14, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Accurate looking article on patently notable outfit in need of sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:46, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:HEY, if every editor who runs a search to check notability added just one sourced fact to the article... it's an idea.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:53, 20 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:SNOW. It;s a fairly big union. FWIW, I'm a member of UFT. Bearian (talk) 01:17, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
