Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DECA (organization)
I know that numbers aren't everything by any stretch of the imagination, but http://www.deca.org/pdf/hsdivision.pdf asserts 172,000 students in 4,500 High Schools, and http://www.deca.org/pdf/collegedivision.pdf asserts 13,000 students at 200 college campuses.  From , "Organizations are usually notable if the scope of activities are national or international in scale and information can be verified by sources that are reliable and independent of the organization. In other words, they satisfy the primary criterion above."  While the above are primary and dependent sources (and so more would be required,) is there really any doubt that DECA/DEX is an organization that is national in scale?  I'd say that this is a case for a reasonable exception / strong encouragement to locate secondary sources that would lock notability completely
