Promotional. Sources mention it only in passing; no thorough coverage in WP:Reliable sources. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 21:32, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The article was replaced with a promotional version. I have since reverted and did a bit of updating. This organization is one of the largest and oldest credit unions in the state of Wisconsin. The nominator clearly did not perform a thorough search of this organization under previous names as there are plenty of offline and online sources. --198.150.12.30 (talk) 21:40, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, One of the largest Credit Unions in Wisconsin. For example, in 2012, it was 2nd largest in terms of assets ($1.78 Billion), 4th largest in terms of members (122,974) and 4th largest in terms of full time employees (329).[1] Search for Charter number 67190 at researchcu.ncua.gov and it shows 147,000+ members and $2.26 billion in assets. For comparison, Landmark Credit Union is Wisconsin's largest CU in terms of assets with $2.7 Billion and 254,000+ members. After only a very brief search, I found that Summit was apparently the largest around 2007 as published in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Wisconsin's largest newspaper.[2] --Dual Freq (talk) 02:40, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This organization has indeed received significant coverage in [WP:RS|reliable third party sources]]. This credit union, due to it's age and size, is covered on a regular basis by the Wisconsin State Journal, The Capital Times, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (three state-wide newspapers). Not to mention the reference I had in there from the American City Business Journals. When I originally wrote this article three years ago I ensured it contained a very generous number of sources with plenty of references for expansion. Since then much has changed with this organization and one could easily add many more well sourced sections to this article.

The individual that nominated this article for deletion appears to be a recent changes patroller. However, he tagged this article for deletion not 5 minutes after an IP edit. I have 13 references in this article, there is absolutely no way he read through the entire article and all 13 references in less than 5 minutes. This entire deletion proposal was a driveby tagging without investing proper research before making said nomination. Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 03:46, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
