Karnival

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non notable student charity. Of the third party sources cited, the only one which actually even mentions the subject is the website of a medical/educational clinic that the group funded. Prod was removed by the author with the comment "Removed delete prod as i do not believe it is justified. Am happy to edit this article to make it more acceptable (it's my first time and i know i'll make mistakes!)". The article has now been given a fair amount of time, and several editors have cleaned it a little, but I am not convinced it is keepable. If a third party reference to it being the biggest could be found, I would support keeping, but I can't find any. J Milburn (talk) 18:58, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. Nothing to support notability has been forthcoming. Plutonium27 (talk) 20:19, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Karnival is Europe's largest student-run charitable organisation and well known in the UK charity scene, not to mention the 35,000 students at the University and the community surrounding it. For more please see: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/public-affairs/press-releases/index.phtml?menu=pressreleasesarchive&code=REC-219/06&create_date=18-dec-2006 Or type 'Karnival' into google - or better 'Karnival University of Nottingham' into Google UK and you'll find over 1,000 returns. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.247.252 (talk) 16:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge the one drag queen event that actually got the attention of the BBC to Rag (student society). Paddy Simcox (talk) 13:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Please note the IP comment on the article talk page. J Milburn (talk) 17:44, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I was going to close this, but could not see a way forward particularly since nobody had suggested merging to University of Nottingham Students' Union, which should at least be considered. --Bduke (talk) 10:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to University of Nottingham Students' Union as suggested by Bduke. :) The article needs massive trimming first. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:06, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per Bduke. It's mentioned in UoNSU at the section University of Nottingham Students' Union; the BBC notable event could be a paragraph at the end of that section. JeremyMcCracken (talk) 05:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
