 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Organization seems to fail WP:ORG and/or WP:GNG. It simply seems to exist. Despite existing since 1965, there are no book hits whatsoever for it, as well as no news hits either. In short, there is little to no coverage in independent sources about it, and even if its members are notable for some reason, notability is not inherited. § FreeRangeFrog croak 21:59, 6 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Note I didn't notice this has gone through two AFDs before, one in 2005 (delete), one in 2007 (redirect). Realistically, if independent coverage was generated in the intervening six years it wouldn't be difficult to find, but that's not the case as far as I can see. § FreeRangeFrog croak 22:02, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

 * delete and salt Pretty much boilerplate text for a student political organization. Should be salted due to the persistence in recreating. Mangoe (talk)
 * Delete but don't salt. The last AfD was in 2007, and the history shows it wasn't until this year that the page was recreated following the redirect.  I wouldn't call a two and then six year gaps between article creation persistence in recreating.  TonyBallioni (talk) 01:12, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge into Kent Union, as suggested before. Bearian (talk) 22:32, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that this gives it WP:UNDUE prominence as the only such organization that would be mentioned. There are likely several hundred of these, and even among the political groups the Kent Labour Students seems essentially of the same age (they do not give a specific founding date). Of all the groups at UMCP, for example, I would only give space to the Monarchist Party, given that they actually made the news through their historic victory in the SGA elections there. It's not particularly noteworthy that campus groups, anywhere, have some group with a conservative political bent. Mangoe (talk) 01:54, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
