The result was keep. I'm quite concerned about the edits made to the article by the nominator, as mentioned by Bonadea. This is an obvious keep, and I'm going to follow up with an SPI report. (non-admin closure) Dusti*Let's talk!* 01:43, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep as the nomination was clearly in bad faith. It is more than a little troubling that the nominating editor first disrupted the article by removing references to its name change and adding a website that is unrelated to the organisation; if that had in fact been the centre's official website, it would have had no claim to notability, but there is no sign that it has anything to do with it. This is exactly the same behaviour displayed by a group of sock puppets that tried to remove all mention of organisations called "Markaz" from Wikipedia a few years ago, except for one, in order to make it look as if that was the only "Markaz" in the world. --bonadea contributions talk 09:55, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I have added a couple of independent references and some more information to the article. --bonadea contributions talk 10:09, 14 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep as reliable sources independent references have been added to the article that show that the subject passes WP:GNG and should be kept. Regarding the disruptive nominator suggest SPI Atlantic306 (talk) 15:10, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
