Non-notable cultural center. Lacks sufficient sourcing to substantiate notability. User:Namiba 01:04, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

• Comment: Wikipedia has other articles on other cultural centers, like Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington, German-American Institute, Nuremberg, and Yupiit Piciryarait Cultural Center. When should a cultural center be considered notable? - HenryMP02 ^TALK 21:49, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

When it has multiple, independent, non-trivial sources covering it in detail per WP:GNG. The existence of something doesn't make it notable.--User:Namiba 22:16, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

• Keep - has 3 independent sources in the article already, as in "independent from the Univeristy of Illinois administration". Two are from the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette, there seem to be at least three more from this source. The third is from the Daily Illini which is the University of Illinois' independent student newspaper. There's likely more sources related to Nick Offerman's close connection to JH.

There is one news story from the local paper that covers the organization at any depth. It doesn't pass WP:GNG. I would support merging relevant information to the University page.--User:Namiba 19:01, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
