Gamma Alpha Chi

Notability. Even with the Perspectives magazine (which I did track down at one point), I don't think it meets notability, especially without any confirmation on the 26 chapters. Naraht (talk) 15:03, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

(OP)I'm actually having more luck verifying the locations of chapters of Gamma Alpha Chi Professional Sorority in the field of advertising (Founded in 1920) which merged with Alpha Delta Sigma in the 1970s. I'll probably end up creating an article about *that* group (I found a list in a Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities from the 1950s that shows more than 30 chapters).Naraht (talk) 22:43, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. The fraternity's website is dead, and a Google search didn't turn up anything beyond a mirror of the Wikipedia page. Thus, I don't see enough in the way of verifiable information on which this article can stand—I mean, arguably we can't even verify the verb "is" in the first sentence, as opposed to "was". —C.Fred (talk) 16:19, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Since this AfD is about the social fraternity started at LSU in 1990, there should be no problem with subsequently starting a page at the same title about a different organization—provided, of course, that the professional sorority meets notability requirements. —C.Fred (talk) 20:51, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * True, standard issues, but with a page long writeup including chapters in Baird's Manual and various mentions in American Advertising Federation documentation, shouldn't be too bad. Just wanted to get my mention in because "recreating an AFD deleted page" sometimes gets done even if what is there is completely different. This is the exact *opposite* from a request to salt.Naraht (talk) 21:30, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
