Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mu Alpha chapter of Alpha Phi Omega

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was DELETE. Because there are so many delete votes, and I personally don't view individual chapters of strange Merkin fraternities as notable, I have chosen to ignore the votes by User:Kappa and User:Trollderella, who I know to vote keep on pretty much everything. I am left with 8 delete votes and 2 keep votes, which is a pretty clear consensus for deletion. — JIP | Talk 19:21, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mu Alpha chapter of Alpha Phi Omega

Non-notable local chapter of national organization. tregoweth 01:43, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. National fraternities are notable; local chapters are not.--Isotope23 02:39, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Fellow brothers they are trying to delete our chapter Wiki entries under the belief that they are non-notable. if you wish to also join in on the good fight please come post in the Alpha Epsilon Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega entry. i am trying my best to defend our ideals by defending our chapter wiki's, i am doing this in hopes that it will help defend our organization's ideals and principles and spread our message of friendship, leadership, and service. by no means Tregoweth take this as something hostile, i am a firm believer in talking things out and dealing with things in a calm manner. i am doing this in the hopes to pursuade you in letting our chapter wiki's stay. besides i know just from hitting the random article link that there are better fish to fry out there. thanks for your time.Butterbean04 02:39, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Please do not attempt to rally support from your fraternity. Wikipedia works on the basis of consensus, not a simple majority, and such attempts at sockpuppet or meatpuppet voting are discounted by the closing administrator. I do appreciate your keeping the discussion civil, however; so thank you. Rob Church ^{Talk | FAHD} 16:57, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. I wholeheartedly support the existence of an article about the national Alpha Phi Omega but not articles about the individual chapters. Student organizations that exist at only a single school (i.e. fraternity chapters) are generally non-notable. --Metropolitan90 04:01, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Three famous alumnus have been noted in the respective Alpha Phi Omega section. --Animosity 12:10, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
May I ask on what basis are articles about these chapters being deleted ? To which fraternity do the delete voters belong ? Is the nomination (are the nominations) being made from an NPOV ? --SockpuppetSamuelson 12:46, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I AfD'd the articles about these chapters because I stumbled across them, and feel that, unless they are somehow notable outside of their organization, local chapters of any group are not in and of themselves notable enough for their own articles. tregoweth 15:30, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with fire. Individual chapters of organizations are inherently non-notable. RasputinAXP talk * contribs 13:37, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete with prejudice. Non-notable fratcruft. Paul 16:23, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. These individual chapters are obviously unique enough to warrant articles separate from Alpha Phi Omega. Un focused 17:39, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As usual, no deletion required. Trollderella 17:52, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, it says "Perhaps the most famous alumnus of the Mu Alpha Chapter is former president Bill Clinton." Kappa 18:44, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. Clinton's membership can be part of the Alpha Phi Omega article and his own. — ceejayoz ^talk 19:36, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Isotope23. And for the record, I was never a member of any fraternity. --howcheng [ talk  contribs  web ] 20:32, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all the chapters. StarryEyes 23:39, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As usual, no fratcruft required. Wikipedia is not a free_host or webspace provider, and that's what's here.
