"W" Association



 * Delete or maybe merge. Hard to say what this is.  It "can refer to anything related to Ohio Wesleyan University" in the first sentence but the second says it "is an alumni organization".  Yet another college organization that doesn't need a separate article.  Google juice difficult to determine because the name is just "W". —Wknight94 (talk) 14:00, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete no assertion of group's notability. Kavadi carrier 15:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Please. "per Kavadi carrier." --Ling.Nut 20:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep! Wikipedia has been delete happy as of late and I fear that many contributor's hard work will discourage participants and will detract from our ability to catalog human knowledge, the purpose of an encyclopedia. Cheers, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 03:19, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete but merge anything relevant but notable into the Ohio Wesleyan University article. If nothing notable or relevant, just delete the thing. -Royalguard11 (Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 04:18, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep! I agree with Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles's comment above. It is strange that some articles will be allowed to stay like Cornelliana but other like this one will be removed. Last time, I checked there wasn't a good policy about this. At the end, I think this will discourage people to contribute. WikiprojectOWU 07:02, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Please see Inclusion is not an indicator of notability. Kavadi carrier 08:23, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Other schools have same pages. Page should stay but should also be improved. Chicomo 19:38, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete No sourcing that is WP:INDY. In fact, no sourcing at all.  And in a two sentence article (one of them a run-on), it manages to seemingly contradict itself.  (The relevant Wikiproject doesn't have enough activity or participation currently to meet the standards for forming a Wikiproject, but that is true of a lot of Wikiprojects.)  It is used as a major header in the projects Ohio Wesleyan University template, so that should be adjusted to not include a wikilink.  Other than that link, I think this would be an orphan article.  Certainly neither the main article nor the list of alumni uses a prose link to this page.  If it isn't important enough to get a prose link from the article on the University, I don't see how it can be important enough for Wikipedia.  GRBerry 03:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Ohio Wesleyan University. ~ trialsanderrors 07:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep The article needs to be improved for sure but I think there is good potential to provide information about college traditions related to the founding of the W association. Wassoc 06:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Appears to be a single-purpose account. --MCB 07:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete; this deserves two or three sentences in Ohio Wesleyan University at most; not its own article. --MCB 07:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
