More puffery created by Les Golden and his army of sockpuppets. I found some evidence that there is a legitimate organization by this name in Japan, but nothing on the subject of this article and no news stories to use to demonstrate the notability of the Japanese version.

Delete - Hoax article. Have not been able to find ANY mention of this alleged institution on Google in Oak Park, Illinois. It does not have a phone number in the local telephone directory, it is not listed with the Oak Park Chamber of Commerce, None of the local institutions of learning make ANY note of it in their websites. In the words of Adam Savage, I'm calling this one "busted". Trusilver 01:30, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. On WP:GNG grounds--all of the hits in Google news and books refer to an organization in Japan, not this place. Could easily be a WP:HOAX. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 01:48, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm inclined to belief it is gross exaggeration rather than a deliberate hoax, see this discussion for further context. Beeblebrox (talk) 04:00, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - probable hoax; for example, while gaming writer Les Golden has been a physics teacher, no such center exists, and it's likely this is an "in joke" on his ability to "count cards". Bearian (talk) 17:13, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
