 * Keep. Notable service organization and professional society that represents Hispanics in the military.  Significant data point for Hispanic and Latino American military history, as Edward Hidalgo helped to form this group and was responsible for dramatically increasing the number of Hispanics in the U.S. Navy in only 10 years.

 * None of which is in the article, which is astonishing considering that the group's "historian" has edited the article. ScottyBerg (talk) 23:02, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It's contained in the sources found in the further reading section, which I added before you made the snarky comment above. Viriditas (talk) 23:05, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Then it should be in the article, if that is what the sources say. What I was expressing above is amazement that someone so closely associated with the organization, so as to be mentioned in the article, would omit such salient facts when editing the article.

 * Actually, you've very neatly defended Tony against any COI, but demonstrating he has had little input into the article. Therefore, please remove the COI tag you've just added. Viriditas (talk) 23:10, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The basis of the COI tag was this edit.ScottyBerg (talk) 23:17, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Then the tag should be removed. That diff is from December 2009 (It is currently March, almost April 2011) and that information was removed from the lead. Viriditas (talk) 23:19, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * This isn't the place to argue this. The self-reference was there for over a year, that is correct. I'm not sure removal is mandated but I don't feel strongly about it and I'm not clear what the protocol is when COI issues are rectified.. ScottyBerg (talk) 23:28, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The protocol is simple: you remove the tag. I did just that, and you reverted me.  Why?  Is there still a COI problem? No. Viriditas (talk) 23:33, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem, removed. Now I have a request of you: can you please remove this off-topic conversation to the talk page of this AfD or the article talk page itself? ScottyBerg (talk) 23:37, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You don't need my permission to do it yourself. Viriditas (talk) 23:49, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
