Trax Credit Union

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I don't think this meets WP:NCORP, at least based off what I was able to find. There's also only nine locations, so it might be hard to find sources because of that (which would again point towards to the direction of not meeting Wikipedia notability guidelines). It's possible I'm not looking in the right places, though. The article as-is reminds me about those ads you'll see on TV for a product or service "we won an award you've never heard of, ranked # whatever on this list, etc" kind of thing. But I've never lived anywhere near Florida so maybe these listed awards are more important than they sound and what I've been able to find.

 * Comment: FWIW, Trax is by far the smallest credit union listed in Category:Credit unions based in Florida. While size in itself is not a criteria for notability, I think that the smaller a credit union is, the less likely it is that significant coverage exists in reliable sources. - Donald Albury 14:01, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Search Comment. For roughly 86/87 years, (almost all of this organizations existence), it has been known as Railroad & Industrial Federal Credit Union. Searches using Trax will find only the most very recent references. Jacona (talk) 11:43, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing this up, that's an important point. I should've brought this up in the nom because that's an important part of trying to find sources. The main reason I saw the article was because of the page move to the new title. I did try searching for sources for the other title, but didn't really find enough to pass WP:NCORP. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places though. Not every source is nessecarily online, especially for older companies like this. Clover moss  (talk) 14:54, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm using "Railroad & Industrial" FCU -Trax and Railroad & Industrial Federal Credit Union -Trax in Google to remove any news items discussing the name change. There's also the former website through Internet Archive here. – The Grid  ( talk )  14:34, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for those tips . I was using for the quotation marks for the old company name, but not the - to get rid of sources that are simply about the name change. I found this but it's a press release. I looked through pretty much all the other results and they're pretty much directory-based. Are you seeing something I'm not or just giving search tips? I appreciate them, by the way.  Clover moss  (talk) 18:13, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Just giving search tips for potentially hoping for someone to find something. I couldn't really find anything. – The Grid  ( talk )  18:14, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
