Edinburgh University Students' Association

 * – ( View AfD View log )

assertion of notability is rather unclear, per WP:ORG. Yet another student association, and there is little to distinguish what this one is/does from others. Completely lacks independent sources. Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 03:06, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

 * That it is housed in "the oldest purpose built student union building in the world" asserts notability, but it needs sources. I think a load of sources could be found in Edinburgh, but I am rather far away from there. So weak keep for now. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  06:48, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's quite standard practice for information about Universities to be broken down to different pages goings into the different faculties and colleges, if not individual departments. A student union is a major component of any British university, functioning as a major business in the city and having a good deal influence and attention.

 * Delete. It's a students' union, just like every other university in the UK has. Just as I wouldn't expect an article on the students' unions of the universities I've attended, I wouldn't expect an article on Edinburgh's. Any relevant information (and that's not much) can be factored into the university's article. The old building already has its own article, which can likewise be linked to from the university article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:15, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep, per Bduke, and the well-populated Category:Students' unions in the United Kingdom. One of the features of a decent SRC is that it is often an incubator for future politicians - it seems surprising none are mentioned, although I have no information about this to hand myself.

 * Keep meets WP:ORG sufficient coverage in gnews in a variety of mainstream sources. LibStar (talk) 00:07, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
