Spire Federal Credit Union

The article was previously tagged as a CSD for spam (G11); in addition, it was a copyright violation. However, I rewrote the article and de-spammified it, adding two less-than-reliable refs in the process - but it's all I could find that was good enough. I'm also in doubt about the notability of the article and whether it meets WP:ORG, as most of the information on Spire are self-published materials online.

 * Weak keep Due to the organization's long history and size I would imagine that independent sources do exist, though many of the best of these will be print materials that are not readily available online.  The Uninvited Co., Inc. 17:55, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - just looking at briefly at Google books and news, I see lots of potential sources -- Dun and Bradstreet, Bizjournals.com, St. Paul Pioneer Press, local TV news coverage, etc. Bearian (talk) 22:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
