Bago University Students' Union

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I have performed WP:BEFORE and searched for in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources. However, I found only these:


 * https://www.rfa.org/burmese/news/admin-pressure-students-01212014214421.html
 * https://www.rfa.org/burmese/news/white-armband-movement-03262015105432.html
 * https://www.myanmarwitness.org/reports/violence-against-protestors-in-bago
 * https://ca.style.yahoo.com/news/myanmars-military-charging-families-85-131919731.html
 * https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/11/asia/myanmar-families-bago-bodies-intl-hnk/index.html

These sources are just passing mentions. The subject fails to meet WP:GNG. The majority of sources that are cited are about the protest and arrest, where other people and this union's members were arrested. Does this establish notability? Please ping me if you find any in-depth coverage of the subject. Grab Up -  Talk  10:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 07:25, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete: I'm not seeing anything approaching GNG here. I'm not comfortable calling any of the applied, presented or found reliable sources directly detailing this WP:ORG. I agree largely with source analysis by the nominator. There are bare mentions in RS. I'm handicapped by my not speaking the language, but my reasonable search finds nothing detailing this student organization. I'd be happy to find RS but I'm not seeing it in English.

 * Delete for now in the past 10 years, along with the political transition, almost all universities in Myanmar have started to form student unions. It is undeniable that student unions play key role in Myanmar’s democratization, and there are significant full coverages in mass media (e.g. BBC Burmese). However, a single student union of a university which has only a few sources would not satisfy WP:GNG.
 * In fact, there is an organization that combines (almost) all the student unions in the country under the name of "All Burma Federation Of Student Unions" (following the step of the union of the same name in history). Once there is an article about the new All Burma Federation of Student Unions, this article should be redirected to there. Unfortunately, since there is no currently then it should be deleted for now. I’m not sure if it’s okay to draftify…Htanaungg (talk) 10:30, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
