- 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 redirected. The discussion leans toward delete, but I've done a pseudo-delete by making this into a redirect to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. This is partially in response to the "merge" verdict given for the last Afd, and partly to preserve the history in case someone DOES want to merge some of this. I also note a precedent at Afd that individual chapters of student organizations aren't typically considered significant enough for their own article. Friday (talk) 19:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Cal Poly Pomona Greek System[edit]
Not an article about greek system on campus, but it is astub about the Sigma Chi chapter there. Although this article has survived an AfD before, I want people to reconsider allowing individual fraternity chapters their own articles. Individual chapters are not notable enough, the only notable events on a truly national scale are usually something really good or bad. Also, greek system articles should be merged to their parent universities as lists in the student life section. This article lacks notability, plain and simple.

Delete non notable. --Francisco Valverde 20:54, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Notable. -- JJay 21:48, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment How is it notable? If the notability is just because the chapter has won a few awards from the school and its national organization that would set a very low bar of notability. If that is the case, why don't we start writing hundreds of stubs about hundreds of fraternity and sorority chapters that have ever been recognzed by their national or school. I am not anti-fraternity, I am far from it being a past president of a fraternity chapter. But there is no value in stubs like these when all the information can be merged into ether fraternity or school's article. Dspserpico 22:01, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- There's also NPOV problems with this stub. Dspserpico 15:07, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy merge It didn't survive the last AfD, the decision was to merge it, not keep it. The decision should still stand, it just needs someone to actually do the merge. --Tango 22:14, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above, and if noone wants to take the time to do it,delete -- Hirudo 02:17, 1 May 2006 (UTC) (changed vote to delete per JJay comment above. -- Hirudo 12:39, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]- Delete all fraternity-related articles that aren't nationally known.

- Delete; if this is considered not notable enough for being in the fraternity article (as shown by the rejection of merging), how could it be notable on its own? - Liberatore(T) 15:28, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
