Engineering Students' Society - University of Alberta
Every university has one of these, it's not particularly notable. Vanity. Delete --Ardenn 00:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment If the text was original I'd consider keeping it. --djrobgordon 07:27, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article establishes the organization's notablity. I don't quite see which passages are in violation of copyright with the provided URL, but perhaps this can be clarified.  However, the article needs to be renamed. btm talk 07:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, with the side note that I'm rather mystified by the neverending profusion of engineering student society articles. These things just are not inherently notable — even being the oldest one in its province doesn't particularly matter, because when you're talking about something that doesn't ordinarily belong in an encyclopedia in the first place, being the oldest example of that unencyclopedic thing is still pretty damn unencyclopedic.

 * Delete Per Bearcat. Universities are notable. National clubs are notable.  But local clubs or branches of clubs, particularly this sort that are only for students, are not notable.  A few sentences can be added to the main university page.Obina 11:26, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete as per Kjkolb Where (talk) 18:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. All knowledge is notable. If every university has one of these, they should all have articles. -- Marvin147 19:32, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Not all knowledge is notable enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia. —Cleared as filed. 22:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
