Very little references listed on article. ⇒ Pickbothmanlol 22:15, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It does seem to genuinely exist [1] and has even gotten a little press from other organizations [2] [3] [4]. I agree that this is not enough to hang an article on, but the fraud issue doesn't seem to apply here. — Gavia immer (talk) 23:53, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a borderline case: It's a stub, and needs references, but the real question is whether the sources show significant coverage or trivial coverage (per WP:ORG). I'm inclined to keep it because of the numerous awards and the large number of people they have at their events. I also think it's possible that significant secondary sources exist, I just haven't found them (they might be in Korean). – jaksmata 20:15, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Pacific American Volunteer Association produces one of the largest Kodak Theater Shows after the Academy Awards, certainly notable. PAVA regularly turns out 5,000 volunteers in a single day, such as at its Los Angeles River Clean Up and Restoration project, and its president is a Los Angeles River Commissioner. PAVA regularly receivs headline coverage in the Korean Press in Los Angeles, which has a polulation of 1 million Korean Americans. PAVA is the largest Korean Organization in Los Angeles, after Korean Veterans. HkFnsNGA (talk) 04:14, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
