Article about a credit union, referenced exclusively to its own self-published annual report rather than any evidence of reliable source coverage about it in media. As for the notability claim of being "the largest Lithuanian credit union in the world", the idea that a Lithuanian diaspora credit union in Canada could claim that title, when there are at least 67 credit unions in Lithuania according to the national bank of Lithuania, is a bit of an eyebrow-raiser at best -- and even if we adjusted the claim to "largest Lithuanian diaspora credit union in the world outside Lithuania", it's still not supported even by the existing primary source, let alone the reliable sources that would have to independently reverify the truth of the statement before it would constitute a notability claim. Basically, nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the topic from having to have much better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 21:51, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Two new sources have been added to the article since this discussion was initiated, but one is still a primary source directory profile on the website of a neighbourhood business improvement association it's directly affiliated with, and the other is a glancing namecheck of its existence in a newspaper article that isn't about it — which means neither of them are bolstering the case for notability at all.
