List of UNC-CH Student Body Presidents

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

List of generally non-notable people, and the subject of the list is not notable in and of itself. The fact that a handful of notable people are a part of the list does not make the list notable. The list has no historical significance, and the original author provides no information as to why it is notable. Indeed, he or she assumes that we all know what "UNC-CH" is, and fails to identify it in the article. (It's University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, by the way.) This is a contested PROD. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:51, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. As nominator says, being a student body president is not in and of itself notable, and as such the list is unnecessary. Wizardman  00:41, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as we do not consider someone notable for holding such a position, a list is inappropriate.   DGG ( talk ) 00:44, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Student body presidents are arguably notable on the basis of the general notability guideline while they hold office, and once notable, always notable. Moreover, they often achieve notability later on through success in politics or some other field. A Google News archive search on the name of student body president of any reasonably large university in the past ten years will probably generate multiple hits from reliable sources, possibly including some from before or after the period the person held office. - Eastmain (talk) 00:45, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: I fail to see how being a student body president meets the notability guidelines, as you assert. Please explain. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:22, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and all delete recommendations above. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:34, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Student body presidents are not notable by their position. It really is just the charismatic person that chose to run. I don't see any EV here. Nuclear Lunch Detected    Hungry?  03:56, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete For the most part, student body presidents are notable only on their own campus, not in a general sense, thus not WP:N. If any of these individuals later become notable, they will earn their own article on their merits. I guess it's conceivable that this list might be accepted on the UNC-CH Wikipedia page, but not as its own article. --MelanieN (talk) 22:46, 6 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN
