Curtin Student Guild

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I don't find much coverage suggesting notability in general or under the organization guidelines. I wouldn't ordinarily expect a university's student association to acquire note outside of and independently of the school. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:30, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The guild is important enough to needs its elections to be run by the state government: http://www.waec.wa.gov.au/elections/union/elections/elect_details.php?org_id=9. There also seem to be several stories in newpapers.see https://www.google.com.au/search?q=%22Curtin+Student+Guild%22+-wikipedia&num=50&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ei=TyoAVf_SLpfc8AXrroCACg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg&biw=1472&bih=751 So it looks as if the coverage is there, so we should Keep the page. (PS the news link from the toolbox on the Wikipedia template does not lead to as many news stories as the link I supplied) Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:47, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think the fact that responsibility for operating student organization elections at state-run schools is delegated to the state's election board is indicative of those organizations' respective notability. As for the news search, I believe you've demonstrated the opposite of what you intended to. There are only 12 hits, and most of those are in passing: "About a dozen police officers attended the Stop Islamophobia rally, organised by Curtin Student Guild’s Miranda Wood ...", for example, isn't substantial coverage. If anything, it's borderline. —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:00, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Western Australian Institute of Technology (usually abbreviated to W.A.I.T) is the previous university name - then try student guild (http://trove.nla.gov.au/book/result?q=wait+student+guild), (http://trove.nla.gov.au/article/result?q=wait+student+guild) - adequate coverage not used by article editors.... satusuro 23:07, 11 March 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Selective merge to Curtin University. Source searches are not providing enough coverage to meet WP:N for a standalone article. N ORTH A MERICA 1000 19:19, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * KEEP - its as much whether the precedent is there - other universities (it is not a school) in Australia have articles about their student guilds - see the template at the base of the article - it is a valid point of australian political history that student unions are the basis for the careers of a lot of australian politicians - if anything the article is suffering from recentism and lack of adequate historical background.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, N ORTH A MERICA 1000 05:04, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Selective merge Some information useful/sourced enough here to keep. Definitely not sourced enough for a standalone article for an unknown club. Jcmcc450 (talk) 18:54, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The current state of how the Curtin University article presents an extract content, but has a link to the main article is fine. So Selective Merge and Keep --CopyvioAndSoWhat (talk) 00:04, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
