Ottawa Chamber of Commerce

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication that this chamber of commerce is notable among the thousands of others. WP is not a business directory. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:12, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Ottawa is a large enough city that I can certainly see a possible path to notability for its chamber of commerce — but that would involve writing a substantial article and power-sourcing it over the WP:GNG hump. Chambers of commerce exist in pretty much every city and do pretty much the same things everywhere, so they're certainly not entitled to an automatic presumption of encyclopedic notability just because they exist — nor to keep a five-sentence stub, based on a single primary source, which only offers a completely generic, boilerplate description of what all chambers of commerce do, and contains absolutely nothing even remotely substantive about Ottawa's as a topic in its own right. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write and source a good article about it, but this version is a definite delete. Bearcat (talk) 02:30, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - like all such organisations, this subject would need to be pass WP:ORGDEPTH / WP:CORPDEPTH to be considered appropriate for inclusion. It doesn't in my view.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 03:19, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Just about every American city or town has a chamber of commerce. Unless secondary sources cover this one in depth it doesn't pass WP's notability standards. BayShrimp (talk) 16:54, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete simply lacks any independent sources showing discussing this Chamber of Commerce; thus this article fails WP:GNG.-- danntm T C 03:06, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
