This is a strange article. At first I thought it had been transcribed from another website, because the footnotes are superscripted numbers enclosed in square brackets. But, after doing some Googling, I cannot find the text anywhere except Wikivisually, a website which appears to just reproduce and host Wikipedia's content. You'll note that the "references" are in the same state there. I've also wondered if the article might have been deleted, and then someone attempted to re-create it, pasting a previous iteration.

I can't find no real, sustained evidence of notability. Google Books returns two results; both appear to be address listings. The only real link on the page is to the UACC website – dead link. A New York Times article is also on the page. It only mentions it in passing, a trivial mention. The book lists are addresses listings, and it looks like they might have been paid-for, and not included because of the organisation's merit. It also appears to be defunct. — ImaginesTigers (talk) 00:51, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
