Fails WP:NCORP right now. I can't check the book source (Google Books does not have a preview that I can find) but the article reads like a PR piece and all the web sources that I can find are either press releases or paid content. shoy (reactions) 13:50, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I do see from the Gnews results that it does get Ghits in bylined stories that are more than mere press releases or paid content in the Calgary Herald, Toronto Star, etc. -- but those are passing mentions. And it's not helped by the fact that the article reads rather like promo content, too. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:49, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as unambiguous advertising, with content solely about the org's mission and leadership. This content belongs on the org's web site not here. I requested a speedy deletion under G11; let's see if it takes. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:23, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
