The result was   no consensus. No prejudice against a speedy renomination if someone feels that the newly added references mentioned by ElKevbo aren't up to par. Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:11, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Non-notable sorority: notability not supported by independent third party references as required by WP:GNG. Not recognized by any national sorority umbrella group. Very small, fewer than 10 chapters, with a very localized footprint primarily in Texas. GrapedApe (talk) 01:27, 5 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - article doesn't really establish notability, nor are there any references to establish notability against WP:GNG. Have had a look - no coverage I can find that could be used to establish notability. Stalwart 111  (talk) 05:37, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - ("Do not Delete this page"). The sorority currently has 10 chapters, and is in the process of expanding to another 5 campuses in the following states: California, Texas, Massachusetts, and Colorado. The page provides wbsite to each of its chapters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajia1999 (talk • contribs) 02:48, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, unless those claims can be verified (WP:V) by reliable sources (WP:RS) then the article cannot be included. The organisation must pass the criteria at WP:CORPDEPTH to be considered a "notable" organisation. Unless it has received significant coverage from reliable sources then it won't meet these guidelines. Please also have a read of WP:ITSUSEFUL and WP:ILIKEIT. We need more than its existence to justify inclusion. Stalwart 111  (talk) 06:37, 13 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - http://greeklife.tamu.edu/organizations. Example of outside verification of chapter/organization existence.  Chapter/colony websites are listed in the article.  Each chapter/colony is recognized by their respective university greek life office.  WP:ITSUSEFUL Organization expansion can be impacted by presence of article. Publications covering subject can be found, created by outside sources, to assist with verification.  Significant coverage included in university publications.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.236.120 (talk) 03:14, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, Existence does not equal Notability. I have no doubt the organisation exists; I don't think the article is a hoax. But there is a very large gap between hoax and notable into which a great many things fall and this is one of the them. If "significant coverage" exists, please cite it or list it here so it can be considered against WP:GNG. I can see a lot of WP:ILIKEIT but not a lot of WP:N, WP:V or WP:RS. You might also like to have a read of WP:SOC and WP:SPA before making further comment. Cheers, Stalwart 111  (talk) 02:45, 17 September 2012 (UTC).
 * I would just like to note the irony of a keep !vote citing WP:ITSUSEFUL, which is a Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions--GrapedApe (talk) 03:21, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep The (misplaced, unorganized, and apparently unused) references (recently added?) in the article substantiate the notability of this organization. It's certainly not a well-known organization with lots and lots of media coverage and other sources, but there is enough to meet our requirements.  ElKevbo (talk) 01:00, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
