I'm not sure from all of this code what the concerns are, that might cause this page to be deleted. You cite WP:ORG and WP:CORPDEPTH, and I've read those links, but I'm not sure how they apply to this page. We've worked hard to make sure this page for the Utah Valley Amateur Radio Club (UVARC) is put out on Wikipedia, and will be happy to do what we need to do, to keep it out there. We've taken notes from pages such as the South Jersey Radio Association to pattern this page after. Since UVARC is the largest amateur radio club in Utah, and one of the largest in the western US, we believe that fact alone to be notable. Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nojiratz (talk • contribs) 21:19, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

References need to be to reliable source coverage in media, not to the organization's own self-published content about itself or to routine databases which every organization that exists at all would always have an entry in. And per WP:ORGDEPTH, that coverage has to extend beyond the purely local. Bearcat (talk) 22:49, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Nearly all the references here are primary sources that cannot support notability in a Wikipedia article, and the few that are actually media coverage are purely local and thus don't pass WP:ORGDEPTH. Having a Wikipedia article is not an entitlement; it's a thing that an organization has to meet certain standards of sourceability to earn, and one of those standards is that there has to be much better sourcing to support it than what's present here.

Ok, I see what you're saying, but not quite understanding it all, especially the self-references. Anyway, how can I get a copy of the original page code, so that we might keep it for when we can satisfy your requirements? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nojiratz (talk • contribs) 00:26, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
