San Fernando Valley Dental Society

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Local Dental Society. The national dental society is notable, and I could if pressed make a case for a State Society, though we do not usually keep these except for State Bars. I can not even begin to understand why anyone should think this of the remotest encyclopedic significance, let alone notability,. The principle violated is NOT DIRECTORY, and this is an exceptionally clear example. I am not clear why the ed. who removed the speedy  thought otherwise.  DGG ( talk ) 05:30, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Referenced only to primary sources. Lacking significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, which is not surprising. After all, who cares about a local chapter of a dental society except local dentists? The nominator is correct.  Cullen328   Let's discuss it  06:08, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as I entirely concur with the speedy, there's nothing particularly convincing of a solidly notable article, a newly started organization for local dentists. SwisterTwister   talk  07:22, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete They aren't that new if they had 900 members in 1985, as reported in a LA Times article. I found a few mentions on the web, but in primary sources such as the webpages of affiliated dentists, I didn't find coverage of the organisation itself in the wider media. Notability has not been established when judged against WP:ORG or WP:GNG. Drchriswilliams (talk) 08:04, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree that the local chapter of a dental society would have a hard time passing WP:N, and there's nothing in any verifiable sources to suggest this organization is the exception. Concur with speedy. -- ERK talk 08:41, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
