notability[edit]

The notability of this association is currently unclear, since no secondary sources are cited. By the notability criteria for organizations, independent reliable sources are required to make sure that the subject is notable. These sources might be press coverage about the Association, or books in which the Association is mentioned. The sources may, but need not, be available online; it is however important that they are explicitely cited.

Please add sources. For the time being, I am replacing the “importance” tag with “notability”. Sorted as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 11:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How is this NOT notable?[edit]

I think an organization dedicated to the Chinese-American community in metropolitan DC, one of the fastest-growing communities, is pretty significant. --OneTopJob6 23:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability / usefulness as a reference[edit]

The list of schools in the article is useful as a reference. Without being able to judge the "notability" of the association (even while recognizing the significance of the community it serves), it would seem that if this article were deleted, some of the content at least would usefully go into a new article. --A12n (talk) 01:35, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
