 * Comment. "Grenfell College" is really Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland, a subdivision of Memorial University of Newfoundland. It has 1400 students. Abductive  (reasoning) 05:42, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment The Union in question has, as of yet, not changed its title in accordance with the change in the Campus' name. Thus the apparent discrepancy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.205.246.34 (talk) 02:22, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Do not delete I believe that the Union, as a member of the Canadian Federation of Students and an essential part of the Memorial University Community, it merits a Wikipedia page. I think it would be unwise to delete this page. There is much worse on Wikipedia and work can be done to ensure that the page comes better into various standards outlined by this site.

External References to the Union

I have provided some links beyond those currently referenced on the GCSU page.

Media I have outlined some external references that can be eventually worked into the page:

 * Delete or Redirect to Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland. The student union is not notable. The only significant sources provided, namely the three CBC stories, are about issues at the campus and mention the student union only in passing.--MelanieN (talk) 04:47, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

 * It is true, I have made only a few edits around the Wikipedia world, but the topics I have written on and contributed to, I am very knowledgeable on, and I have been a long standing member of the Wikipedia community. If the decision is made to delete this student union page, why bother having a page on any student union website? There is an inherent value in having pages on University student unions. Once again, I must reiterate that there is value in having information on various student unions in Canada, no matter the size, including the Grenfell College Student Union.
