Reads like an advertisement, all of the sources come from just their own website. Fails WP:NOTPROMOTION ThatGirlTayler (talk) 22:09, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep, because nomination does not state a valid justification for deletion. "Reads like an advertisement" is not one. It has been tagged for that, although frankly the article does not seem particularly promotional to me. It is a major organization, the largest of its kind in the U.S., and is clearly notable IMHO. --doncram 22:31, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:NOTPROMOTION is a valid reason and I'm sorry that you don't see it that way, but it is. ThatGirlTayler (talk) 22:46, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A quick WP:GOOGLETEST throws up a few articles in the national press and many articles in the U.S. regional press. For instance: [1]; [2]; [3] and [4]; [5];[6]; [7]; [8]. Wikipedia is not for WP:PROMOTION but Doncram is correct in pointing out that "[r]eads like an advertisement" is not per se a reason for deletion if the article can be edited to remove the "advertising" and has notability.
