Non-notable club with only 1 chapter nationwide. Fails WP:N and WP:ORG standards of notability. Insufficient third party sources to establish notability GrapedApe (talk) 03:46, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, reluctantly. I would really like to save this article about a 100-year-old fraternity, but I could not find any significant sourcing at Google News or Google Books, so it fails WP:ORG. If someone can find such sourcing I will change my !vote. As an alternative to deletion, the article could be redirected to University of Redlands#Greek life. --MelanieN (talk) 15:36, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, There is some verifiable content, and what content that is supported by reliable sources should be kept somewhere, even if in a brief summary style is used; therefore I would support a merge of verified content and redirect as stated by MelanieN.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:30, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge This should be saved in one form or fashion. I would suggest that a page be created as a list of local fraternities or something similar. Otherwise, there would be no place for local fraternities in Wikipedia with the possible exception of secret societies like the Seven Society. While this particular fraternity "might" not meet the notability category on its own merit, collectively local fraternities (not chapters of major fraternities) are notable. --Enos733 (talk) 05:31, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The consensus looks to be that some of this information should be retained but there is nowhere to keep it. So, it transpires that WP:N is not giving correct guidance for this particular article (it only claims to be a guide). Hence contentious unverfiable material should be removed and whatever is left should be kept. One day (there is no hurry) it might be merged into a suitable broader article.

- There's a perfectly good place at University of Redlands#Greek life, which s appropriate because that's the only location where this club exists.--GrapedApe (talk) 22:19, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Excellent. If that is so, why are you seeking to have this article deleted rather than merging it there yourself? Thincat (talk) 22:25, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Because it's not a notable topic for inclusion (see my nomination). Just because I suggested a merge-to location if a merge is the result of the AFD doesn't mean that I agree with a merger.--GrapedApe (talk) 23:23, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
