Southeast Lineman Training Center

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article does not demonstrate that the center meets Wikipedia's generally accepted standards for inclusion for organizations. The links at the bottom prove that the center exists but in each case, the coverage was either trivial (a passing reference in an article primarily about a different topic) or traced back to self-published materials (such as a press release). My own search failed to turn up any credible evidence other than self-promotional materials. The primary contributor to this article appears from the chosen username to have a conflict of interest and declined to provide any new evidence of notability during the period that the page was in "proposed deletion" status.

 * KeepNotability and WP:ORG are satisfied by substantial coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources, including a Knight/Ridder News service article, an article in the Scottsboro, Alabama Daily Sentinel, and an article in the Chattanooga Times/Free Press . There is nothing "passing" or "trivial" about these articles. The nominator may see these as "promotional" or as originating in press releases by the subject school, but the vast majority of articles about companies in the mainstream press also result from press releases. No one put a gun to the heads of the editors of these newspaper and compelled them to write stories about the school, nor can it be assumed that they automatically print stories about every school which sends them a press release, nor is it shown that the stories are simple reprints of press releases.

 * Keep sources supplied above seem to meet WP:N fairly easily. Hobit (talk) 02:17, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per most basic criteria of WP:N.  Jerry  delusional ¤ kangaroo 03:39, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
