Delete: This is one of those legendary Ambassador Program train wrecks, and has been bothering me since I first laid eyes on it. The topic substantially duplicates Alaska Native Regional Corporations. Comparisons between the article's text and the text of the webpages found in the reflist would indicate only the barest effort to reword passages in order to avoid copyvio. Lots more effort put into making the article look pretty than in creating something which may last for the ages. I can safely assume that the only passing grade here was in the classroom.

delete you have to love the long series of pictures of "Alaska state X" along the right side. You have to wonder whether they got a passing grade in the part about seeing if there's already an article on the subject. Mangoe (talk) 13:30, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. This should be merged into Alaska Native Regional Corporations, instead of being deleted. -Uyvsdi (talk) 03:17, 4 February 2013 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]

I would have to say that delete is a better option than merging. We can't merge copyvios and there is no reason to anyway since these subjects are already adequetely covered elsewhere, in fact the individual corporations already have their own articles so I am struggling to understand why this was even created in the first place.

Delete My smell after sampling a few of the sections is that the copyright violations are too numerous to tolerate a merge. --j⚛e decker ^talk 00:19, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
