California Building Industry Association[edit]

Only non-trivial sources mention this group in passing--nothing that is actually about the group. COI issues as well--author is Cbiait (talk · contribs) Blueboy 96 15:25, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following article about a related group for deletion, for the same reason:

Weak Keep Major trade associations of this sort can be notable--usually, only national ones, beut beause of the size, this could be a reasonable exception. I would, however, like to see some better sources. As for the Conference, I think its a notable trade show, but it too needs sources--perhaps it should be merged into the article on the Association.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep - while the currently used sourcing is a little dodgy, lots of good sources exist that can be used to demonstrate notability. This article, about someone inducted into the CBIA's hall of fame contains some nontrivial discussion. [http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-17921152_ITM A news report on some legal action the group took. News report establishing notability for the Pacific Coast Builders Conference, and the CBIA. News report on CBIA's executive selection. While a lot of the 2200 news stories one can dig up through Google News merely quote the CBIA as a source of information, there's a nontrivial amount of coverage on the organisation itself.

Keep both on the basis of significant coverage. -- Eastmain (talk) 19:52, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
