Berkeley College Republicans[edit]

If the state-wide organization isn't notable enough for an article (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/California College Republicans), then a local chapter certainly isn't. Calton | Talk 05:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I would have voted "keep" for the statewide organization, but university-level organizations like this one are not inherently notable. Although being at an overwhelmingly liberal university adds a little quirk to it. Grand master ka 06:47, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe they need to band together, for protection. --Calton | Talk 07:41, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't see anything wrong with it. Checkerpaw 15:08, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, nn student group. RasputinAXP c 20:32, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless they've made world headlines on their own, then add a mention on the University page. KillerChihuahua^?!? 20:55, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'm pretty sure there was an article a while ago about this group in The New Republic. (Supposedly they, along with the Patriot magazine that the article mentions, were at the forefront of a wave of young conservatives in America.) At any rate, I've heard of it indepedently, and I have no connection to Berkeley or College Republicans. zafiroblue05 | Talk 21:09, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete This particular group may have made some noise on campus but I don't think that makes them more worthy than other campus clubs. The College Republicans article could probably be expanded to include particular chapters that have done something extremely notable or are in the five largest in the country.

Keep no good reason for deletion given. For great justice. 00:15, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- You mean other than the one I actually gave, no. --Calton | Talk 01:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, I meant that the one you gave was not good. The fact that a bad decision was made once does not mean another one has to be made. For great justice. 02:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - In other words, vague handwaving. --Calton | Talk 02:15, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. Student organizations that exist at only a single school are generally non-notable. --Metropolitan90 01:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Fishhead64 02:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. —Khoikhoi 03:43, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable due to multiple media mentions. [1] [2] -badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 21:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The Daily Cal is the campus newspaper, and the Berkeley Daily Planet is the local (free) daily). So technically media, but only within the city limits of Berkeley. --Calton | Talk 07:04, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - The music notability guidelines define the media test as "Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers, personal blogs, etc...)," so these media don't cut it.—WAvegetarian•_{_{CONTRIBUTIONS}}^{^TALK}• ^{^EMAIL}• 13:42, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, nn (and banal) student group. Catamorphism 02:18, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article is nothing but a way to seek publicity for a nn group.Wfgiuliano 05:45, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as nn and per Metro and Grandmaster. Joe 05:48, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
