List of University of Santo Tomas student organizations

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

This type of list is not notable and should be deleted per WP:NOTDIR. Its entries have no independent notability either, and I don't see verified content that needs to be preserved, or a possible redirect worth saving. Drmies (talk) 04:07, 27 October 2010 (UTC)


 * What made you say that the article is not notable. Only a very small part of it is linked outside Wikipedia, so this article cannot be considered as a directory.  I think this is very informative.  Please give me two weeks to have this article fixed.  Thank you. Pampi1010 (talk) 14:48, 27 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. This is better suited to the school's own website than an encyclopedia, and if left will attract spammy external links, it has a few already.  Wikipedia is not your school's student life brochure. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:41, 27 October 2010 (UTC)


 * So how am I going to change the article? Though this article is not as comprehensive, Dartmouth has a similar article - Dartmouth College Greek organizations. Please, give me a couple of weeks to edit this article. Thanks.  What if I will remove all the external links?Pampi1010 (talk) 12:14, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It's likely not possible to change the article, except by hosting on the school's website or finding other hosting on your own. It isn't comparable to the Dartmouth article, as that is a text article rather than a list and supported by more than a hundred sources.  Sometimes what looks like a bad article at first glance can be improved and salvaged by editing, but that isn't the case here as the underlying concept is faulty.

 * Perhaps, I should accept the fact that the article will go nowhere. You guys know better.  As the main author of the article, its just so sad to see my work get deleted.  Maybe in a month or two, I'll just put up an article similar to that of Dartmouth.  Thank you.  Pampi1010 (talk) 17:57, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Wait.. If an article such as List of youth organizations and Taipei American School student organizations can exist, why can't this article?Pampi1010 (talk) 18:35, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Strong delete every large university comprises of many student organisations, most of which can simply be found via the university website. lists are useful if they contain many notable entries. this does not. LibStar (talk) 06:46, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, just a list of organisations that are not individually notable. Wikipedia is not a directory. J I P  &#124; Talk 07:58, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
