Delete (1) No claim to notability is made, see WP:LEAD. (2) Coverage is just their own publications and local news stories, mostly The East Tribune, of the quotidian business of the Chamber, local business awards and such. The two news stories cited for coverage in the article are dead links. I was unable to recover them from archive data, but they appear similar to "Gilbert Chamber, Town honor Higley’s Community Excellence Award winners" and "Gilbert Chamber of Commerce Encourages Residents to "Adopt a Senior". The most exciting stories, still local, were where the Chamber was asked for a comment on "Two Arizona cities named among top 20 hardest working in U.S.", and "Andy Biggs' endorsement by Gilbert Chamber highights business’ political quandary". I found nothing outside the Phoenix area. --Bejnar (talk) 18:15, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[]

Delete - Certainly not anything here, especially with the article's history and age, to suggest even minimal independent notability for a local chamber of commerce. Notifying local user Onel5969. SwisterTwister talk 06:11, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[]

Delete - this could be the poster child for why the added parameter of non-local coverage was added for Orgs and Corps. If this was about a person, would qualify under WP:BASIC definitely, and most likely under WP:GNG, but all of the coverage is local (AZ Republic, AZ Central (the Republic's online arm), East Valley Trib, etc.).
