Keep I believe this page should be kept. The information has been sourced from a number of references including the three specified (GeoLogic), and from personal experience of organising De La Beche Club events over a period of nearly 30 years. The Club is also described in the Imperial College Calender, the authorative account of College affairs published annually. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Msr69 (talk • contribs) 17:16, 14 July 2012 (UTC) — Msr69 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

KEEP I believe this article should be kept as it contains information from numerous references including my own experience as chair to the club over the current academic year. References also include the union of the prestigious and reliable Imperial College London. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattwebb11 (talk • contribs) 12:26, 18 July 2012 (UTC) — Mattwebb11 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Note: I've unblocked both of these, as I believe what they say (one editor is current president of the subject club; the other is a long-time associate of the subject club. Both have COI on the article, but this is not a violation worthy of blocking. --jpgordon:==( o ) 22:03, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

KEEP As 2011-2012 Honorary secretary for the De La Beche club, I urge you to keep this page as it is representing a long standing society within Imperial College Union and the Royal School of Mines. Alongside being verified by the university as a society, the Sir Henry De La Beche page of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography recognises the club as a "student geology society subsequently called the De La Beche club" after the work De La Beche did on the Royal School of Mines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Em.penn (talk • contribs) 12:11, 21 July 2012‎ (UTC)
 * I invite you to re-cast your arguments in terms of the GNG guideline. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:44, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
