Alpha Phi Omega Philippines, Lambda Nu Chapter

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

No evidence that this individual chapter has any notability. No reliable independent sources about this chapter. Main recognition is "Recognized by the University as the best organization in 2001 as well as the best Chapter of Region XI by the RAD office in 2006, the ΛN Chapter has produced a total of 24 brothers and 51 sisters as of 2008." An in-university award and a regional chapter award are both very limited in scope and not really independent. Fram (talk) 08:11, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

I've sort of been waiting for this to happen unfortunately. I'm one of the primary editors of the main Alpha Phi Omega page and remember when an entire group of Alpha Phi Omega chapters in the USA got AFD'ed. I may salvage at least one piece of information from here (the fact that more than one chapter does an Oblation run. I'd like to see this information kept in some way, but better would just be to figure out how to get the National Office (either USA or Phils.) to create a Fraternity wiki.Naraht (talk) 14:54, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment you could move it to WikiPilipinas which is a Pinoy Wikia of sorts.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 03:54, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. I consider all of these Greek-type organizations to be non-notable, and chapters of them are even more so. Stifle (talk) 10:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Please propose an AFD on Phi Beta Kappa.Naraht (talk) 14:56, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be a waste of time. Stifle (talk) 15:54, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * But apparently equal in your views, correct?Naraht (talk) 21:15, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Individual chapters will almost never be notable, for this and other national organizations. a good general rule, which we should maintain unless there are very special circumstances, which are not shown here. As for the notability of the major national greek organizations, I think its unquestionable, given the amount that has always been written about them--the only question arises with so called national fraternities consisting of a very few chapters, & many of them have been held not notable.

 * Comment Having you people decide whether this post is notable or not turns my stomach. As far as I know, the chapter is ‘notable’ to the people we have helped in our community and in our country with the numerous projects we have initiated. I think that having these individuals think that we are notable is more than enough for us. We do not need you guys here in Wikipedia to tell us if we are or we are not notable. Besides, to be identified as notable is not the goal of the organization and explaining our goals to you guys will just be ‘a waste of time’. And, from the comments I read here, it seems that ones ‘notability’ is determined by other people’s biases. I will not subject the organization and the chapter to this. There is no need for you to discuss this further as I will make things easier for everybody. I would like to request that the article be deleted immediately. Thank you. APO1113
 * Comment I've placed the relevant tag requesting deletion (by author request), as soon as an admin can get to it in the queue, it should dissapear. --RedHillian | Talk 16:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
