Bucharest Medical Students' Society (SSMB)[edit]

No independent sources confirm the notability of this entity through in-depth coverage.

Footnote 1 is a mere directory listing at an umbrella organisation of which the society is a part.
Footnote 2 is a link to a page on the society's own website.
Footnote 3 links to a page on the site of the university associated with the society. Not only is this of dubious independence, it is also a bare passing mention.

Also notable is this message, where the article creator (who, of course, has made no other contributions to Wikipedia) says: "This page was created in order for the students that come from abroad for our exchange programs to have a little background. It is also useful in our interaction with National and International Officers and Directors of the International Federation of Medical Students' Association and European Medical Students' Association." Worthy goals both, but it is not our purpose to help exchange students, nor to help the society interact with other bodies. Those may be incidental benefits of having an article, but the prerequisite is in-depth coverage in independent sources.

I would not object to having this mentioned at Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, but a separate article is not warranted, given the scarcity of sources. Biruitorul ^Talk 18:51, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, quite a collection here. Doesn't appear to meet WP:ORG, lack of reliable sources and the talk page comment shows promotion and COI (tagged as such)--ThePaintedOne (talk) 21:48, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
