Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arrernte Council
I can find quite a lot of sources about it just by googling. I will have to do more research to find the best sources and accurate information, but it's clear that Charles Perkins (Aboriginal activist) either established it https://books.google.com.au/books?id=96pyAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Arrernte+Council%22&dq=%22Arrernte+Council%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj-rqie6YTjAhUMcCsKHfolAdY4ChDoAQg_MAU, and/or was an early chairperson or president - from 1984-1988 and again from 1991-2000 http://www.perkinstrust.com.au/timeline.html, or from 1989 https://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/moree-baths, or from 1991-1994 https://www.portrait.gov.au/portraits/2004.152/kumantjayi-perkins-at-the-roma-forum-brisbane. (The ''Encyclopaedia of Aboriginal Australia'' says the Arrernte Council was established in 1986, and has info about its functions as at 1994.) Perkins certainly was chair in 1993, when the Arrernte Council organised the National Indigenous Business Conference https://aiatsis.gov.au/sites/default/files/docs/digitised_collections/the_koori_mail/049.pdf. In 1998, the Arrernte Council was incorporating CDEP into business ventures http://www.alicespringsnews.com.au/0533.html. By 2005, it had gone into administration, realised assets and appointed new councillors https://www.abc.net.au/news/2005-08-22/administrator-in-wings-if-arrernte-council-falters/2086392, in 2006 the Council was found guilty of damage to sacred sites https://www.aapant.org.au/sites/default/files/news/Convictions_09_10_06%5B1%5D.pdf, in May 2009 the chair Paul Ah Chee was talking about plans for a housing estate http://www.alicespringsnews.com.au/1617.html, by December 2009 they had no funding and had to lay off staff https://www.abc.net.au/news/2009-12-01/aboriginal-corporation-axes-19-staff/1164382. A Trove search shows information in more articles https://trove.nla.gov.au/article/result?q=%22Arrernte+Council%22&sortby=dateAsc. The article in its current form needs major editing, being apparently copied in toto from a website (I can see why an Arrernte Council website would have information about Arrernte history, but a Wikipedia article on the Arrernte Council does not need that - it can just link to Arrernte people (although that could do with improvement too). I think it's highly likely that this will meet  - I'll try to work on the article
