Keep or merge. Mentioned in main University article -- JJay 00:48, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, The event is a major and long running event at the university which is highly popular and well known both by university students and others besides. Evil Eye 13:17, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I believe that a local event at a campus fails to minimally relevant to earn an article on an encyclopedia. --Mecanismo | Talk 20:08, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you also presented it as an obscure event at an obscure college, when it is actually a major event at a well-known college. Many events/clubs etc at colleges and universites could merit articles. -- JJay 21:32, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The themed party can only be considered a major event inside the Derwent College and maybe to some extent in other colleges of the university of York. The event is trully not notable outside of that. Therefore that doesn't give it sufficient notoriety to deserve an article on an encyclopedia. Besides, what I defined as "obscure" was the Derwent College and not the University of York. To put it simply, the school is notable but the place where they teach two courses isn't by itself all that notable. --Mecanismo | Talk 13:15, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed JJay, it is perhaps the most well know event at the whole Univeristy, certainly the biggest and hosted by the first college to be opened at the Univeristy of York, one of the top univeirsties in the UK. Certainly not just any old event at any old university. Evil Eye 22:45, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I Know and presume that Mecanismo did not have time to research it before making the nom, which should now be withdrawn. -- JJay 00:59, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As you can read above, I indeed researched the subject and the article is indeed worthy of a deletion. Local campus parties aren't notable enough to earn an article on any encyclopedia. --Mecanismo | Talk 13:18, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You should have researched it before nominating. Please try to do that in the future. My vote stands-- JJay 18:12, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
