Athabasca University Students' Union

There are many problems with this page and it's not clear that it is notable. Some users continually revert tags in an attempt to prevent the page from being properly scrutinized. There is little information here that is factual and unbiased. I would suggest that what little information can be salvaged, should be used as part of the Athabasca University page.

 * Speedy Keep perfectly notable as a student union at a major, publicly-funded Canadian university. Me-123567-Me (talk) 02:09, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Note, Me-123567-Me claims an association with the university. Possible conflict of interest. West Eddy (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:23, 10 April 2012 (UTC).
 * Attending a school isn't a conflict of interest. Me-123567-Me (talk) 15:24, 10 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Athabasca University. I don't see any significant coverage about this student union. There is this article.  But that's really it for coverage.  Per WP:ORG, I don't see notability.  A redriect to the section covering this in the university article would be appropriate. -- Whpq (talk) 17:20, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * That article actually refers to the labour unions at the university, not the student union. West Eddy (talk) 11:33, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
 * That article is about the same union of students described in the article proposed for deletion. The subject of the article is an association of students, not a "student union". --Orlady (talk) 17:05, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't see where the article refers to the Athabasca University Students' Union. West Eddy (talk) 18:11, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Look at the section Athabasca_University, under "Undergrad students". It reads as follows:


 * Undergraduate students at Athabasca University are represented by the Athabasca University Students' Union. The AUSU head office is in AU Edmonton, though the students' council may have elected members from any area where AU students reside.


 * AUSU was formed in 1993 and was formalized as a registered Alberta society until students' unions in Alberta were granted recognition under the Post-Secondary Learning Act. On 13 September 2004 the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta approved an order in council which states:
 * The Lieutenant Governor in council establishes and incorporates a students' association to be known as "The Students' Association of Athabasca University" to provide for the administration of students' affairs and the promotion of the general welfare of students consistent with the purposes of Athabasca University.


 * AUSU has established several clubs for students. Clubs currently sponsored by AUSU include the AU Health Sciences Society, La Société Française d'AU, the AU Literature Club, AU Business Students’ Association, AU Science Students' Society, AU Sports Club, and the AU Student Moms' Club. Student media at Athabasca University is provided by the official publication The Voice Magazine. Previously published on paper, the magazine since 2001 is published exclusively online in HTML and PDF format.
 * I was talking about this article that Whpq mentioned. I think it's a moot point anyway, because we seem to be in agreement that the student union is not notable apart from the university. West Eddy (talk) 19:09, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect as recommended by Whpg. No evidence that this organization is notable independent of the university; also, there's not enough content in the article to warrant splitting this off as a separate article. --Orlady (talk) 20:01, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect per comments above: no independent notability. Drmies (talk) 05:08, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect my checking for sources came up nil, no indication of notability outside the school, redirect as per above is suitable.--kelapstick(bainuu) 07:21, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
