At What Cost?, Cornell
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is about a student organization that successfully opposed a unionization drive at Cornell in 2002. The drive was controversial, and therefore generated a fair amount of press coverage, but fundamentally this fails the ten year test and WP:NEVENT. The appropriate amount of encyclopedic detail is a brief mention in Cornell University's history section or graduate student union, but an entire page on the drive specifically at Cornell is unwarranted, let alone a page on a single organization involved in that drive. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 06:12, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge an appropriate amount of detail (i.e. a paragraph or so) into Cornell University as needed. This organisation isn't sufficiently notable for a discrete article. ƒirefly  ( t · c ) 12:21, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge, per above, merge into Cornell University. Alex-h (talk) 10:15, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Pointing the redirect to Cornell's page might be most appropriate, but for the material, History of Cornell University or the graduate student union page would be better targets, I'd think. Even a paragraph at the main page would probably raise WP:DUE concerns. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 21:46, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: adequate coverage, the sentence in the lead 'There had been no prior instance in American graduate student unionization history where a unionization proposal was defeated by a vote' is a sufficient claim of long-term signifiance to defeat the WP:10YEARTEST concern. &mdash; Charles Stewart (talk) 08:59, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * That line speaks to the importance of the unionization drive, not this organization. It'd still be a heavy lift to establish that a failed unionization drive needs its own article rather than coverage in graduate student union, but it'd be easier. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 16:05, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
