 * Delete: Unreferenced WP:POV WP:OR essay on a student organisation in a university. There are a few media mentions of the organisation, but I see these as passing mentions in the context of reporting on university affairs. Fails WP:ORGDEPTH. AllyD (talk) 08:04, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Our facebook page.  https://www.facebook.com/dsf1978 . As rightly pointed out very few media mentions. In spite of that here are some links that corroborate the existence of Democratic Students' Front in Jadavpur University , http://www.telegraphindia.com/1090328/jsp/calcutta/story_10733345.jsp http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110607/jsp/calcutta/story_14077751.jsp http://revolutionarypath.blogspot.in/2007/04/cpm-terror-after-loosing.html http://www.cpiml.org/liberation/year_2007/May/nandigram_effact.html

Hope the links to be useful.

Intensive internet work on Democratic Students' Front has not been done earlier and the article page at wikipedia e something one of the very first of its kind. !!! In this context, we have hard copies that corroborates the existence of Democratic Students' Front ??? Would they provide to be useful ??? And in what other ways can we provide the secondary reliable sources ?? Thank you !!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.194.41.242 (talk) 15:00, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - I took a look at the citations provided right now. I think the student group will have to gain more coverage from secondary reliable sources in order to pass our general notability guidelines. SarahStierch (talk) 04:04, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Student organizations that exist at only a single university tend to be non-notable per WP:ORG. Even if this organization can overcome that tendency and establish notability, this article is completely unsourced and does not appear to have been written from a neutral point of view. If indeed this organization ought to have an article in Wikipedia, it would need to be completely rewritten. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:37, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
