At What Cost?, Cornell
Tagged as speedy, but article claims some slight notability. Abstain for now. brenneman {T}  {L}  03:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment I don't think I should vote since I created the page, but I created this stub after seeing the recently created graduate student unionization page. That page links to the At What Cost? website, and it struck me that it would be better for it to link to an internal encyclopedic wikipedia page about the group.  It is quite rare for a grad student union to be voted down in the USA; this vote at Cornell may have been the first time officially (or perhaps there was one other time).  Plus, the "no" vote was incredibly strong.  Moreover, turnouts for these sort of unionization votes are typically around 50%, but with this vote, it approached 90% (depending on what exact numbers you think you should use).  I of course won't use this strong a language in the article, but it would be impossible to legitimately deny that the group had a substantial influence on both the turnout and the vote, for anyone who is aware of the events surrounding the election.  I think the page will be of interest to both:  People interested in things related to Cornell University.  And, people generally interested in grad student unionization, for understanding an indepedent group that was able to (successfully) oppose a grad student unionization effort.  It's hard for me to see how the page would not fit Wikipedia's loose standards of notability.  At least give the page a little time to develop, so you can better judge whether a page about the group should necessarily not be included in wikipedia.  The time that I had yesterday was only enough to barely start the page... HalfDome 15:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete not encyclopedicly notable. Death Eater Dan    [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] ( Muahaha ) 04:29, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per A7, they MAY have had some influence on a union election for graduate students. This is not notable at all, but it is better safe than sorry and open it to discussion. Mike (T C) [[Image:Star_of_life2.svg|20px]] 04:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
