Non-notable school clubs organisation. No coverage in independent reliable sources. It also appears to be a WP:PARAPHRASE unacceptable close paraphrase of the organisation's own website. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 15:04, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of notability; Wikipedia is not a free web host. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:24, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No amount of verbiage can compensate for a lack of notability, and nudging the copyright doesn't help. Miniapolis 00:16, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
keep : This article is notable. Please take a look into the following details,

Notability :

First of all the the Inaguration of the Club was covered in Dinamani Siruvarmani, a reputed and leading Tamil daily in Tamil Nadu. The Inaguration of Wikipedia Club was also covered in Tamizh Computer a leading Tamil Weekly in Tamil Nadu. The digital presence of newspapers and magazines, even leading newspapers, is not available in this part of the world. If needed i will scan the pages and upload them here.

All the individual Clubs were inagurated by Scientists of ISRO, Principals of other schools and proffessors of leading autonomus Colleges in the district. The inaguration photograph shows every body and the page lists of all the poeople in detail.

The Wikipedia Club, which is one among the clus is inagurated by an administrator from Tamil Wikipedia, Theni. M. Subramani. The Oath-taking ceremony is presided by Dr. P. Nakkeeran, Director of Tamil Virtual Academy, Chennai. This event too is covered by leading Tamil newspapers.

A Group of Delegates from Wikipedia and Wikipedia India Chapter visited our school before the inaguration of the Clubs and discussed about the possible co-operation Wikipedia may able to do. Students from 4 different Clubs conducted a Photo-tour this Jan 4th around Kanyakumari district, to use the photographs as supporting materials in the mission of improving three Wikipedia articles Kanyakumari, Kanyakumari district and Nagercoil atleast as Good articles before this June.

The district administration (District Collector) of Kanyakumari district was contacted by officials from Wikimedia India Chapter and was requested to offer all possible assistance to the edu-clubs; and following up, the district administration helped us in all possible ways providing text materials, documents, old photo-graphs etc... An ad-hoc is to be created this feb 2014 including students from all clubs to speed up the editing process of the wiki articles.

Also, this Excel Group of Schools includes 3 Schools , Excel Global School, Excel Central School & Excel Higher Secondary School which are all leading schools in this district. The total student strength is 2500+ from all around the state of Tamil Nadu. - Vaikunda Raja (talk) 06:36, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I also added a reference from a leading Tamil daily which reports the Inauguration. - Vaikunda Raja (talk) 07:29, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I also removed several lesser level details which may not suit to the wikipedia statndards. - Vaikunda Raja (talk) 09:17, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Our notability criteria has nothing to do with involvement of Wikipedia admins, involvement with scientits, or any of the other things you mention here with the exception of newspaper coverage. That said, I don't see enough non-trivial (i.e., "this happened, the end") third-party reliable source coverage to meet notability guidelines. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:17, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment So at least 2 independent leading Tamil News Papers had covered the news regarding the Inauguration and subsequent events. So even though the vast coverage may be reduced the page itself may not be deleted. - Vaikunda Raja (talk) 06:40, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Now the article had been reverted to old edits which includes details those which are only covered in the newspapers. - Vaikunda Raja (talk) 12:39, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Demiurge, I wish you'd just slapped an A7 template on it! Still, delete. Routine coverage in a newspaper or two does not make for notability, contrary to popular belief. This is a totally non-notable club of student clubs. Drmies (talk) 05:16, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing WP:GNG. Non-notable school organization. Might be worth a brief mention in the article about the school(s) but a standalone article is inappropriate. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:24, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
