Prodded and deleted article, restored on request. No opinion otherwise. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 16:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete Ludicrous article, miles away from WP:ORG. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:30, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. From WP:ORG: "A company, corporation, organization, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject."  Such coverage and sources are listed in the article. Tim (Xevious) (talk) 17:40, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is an implication of significance here if you close one eye and stare very hard. What are presented as references here are no more than filler local-interest stories at best. Multiple and independent sources, yes, but of a trivial nature. Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:33, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete One club at one University has no place with an article. Jmlk  1  7  21:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * @Delete. Sources are not about the society itself, they only mention it as part of wider coverage. Callmederek (talk) 22:25, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I think that the presence of independent sources is enough to keep this article from being speedy deleted but we are still a long way away from meeting the general notability requirements given the nature of the coverage.  Eluchil404 (talk) 23:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. Okay, so I'm having to close one eye and stare very hard but there are two items in separate years from the local paper (Bristol Evening Press). This is certainly independent and the titles indicate that the articles focussed entirely on the society winning the top-level student championships that year. I must be having an inclusionist day but I think this squeaks over the bar. Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk)  17:18, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are independent and reliable sources. And this society seems large in members, successful in its performances and generous in its donations. Why should we want to delete it when it can obviously be useful for people wanting to know more about it (from that university or another)?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.44.204 (talk) 23:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Not a hugely notable society, but basically passes the requirements of WP:RS. I can't say I'd hugely object if this was deleted, but on the other hand I don't think much harm will be done by keeping it. Terraxos (talk) 05:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete... nothing really in the spirit of WP:RS. The BBC mention is trivial at best, and mentions in the "Bristol Evening Post" are nothing out of the ordinary, considering how often local organizations, bands, etc. are mentioned in the arts scene section of local papers. A few articles here and there do not grant notability. -- Kinu t /c  06:32, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Should be SALTed, as it was already deleted as an expired PROD. Jmlk  1  7  01:32, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Further comment: I have a hard time finding anything notable about the society. Jmlk  1  7  01:38, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
