List of fraternities and sororities in the Philippines

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

WP:INDISCRIMINATE list (there being no obvious reason to link fraternities and the Philippines) most of whose entries are WP:LINKFARM, the logos would violate WP:FUC, the unlinked ones violate WP:LIST (lists are supposed to be navigational), the linked ones don't look that notable and anyway could be linked by a category.

 * Delete for all of the reasons that Guy gave above and the complete lack of references and lead paragraph which would provide context (what should (not) be included) and claim of notability. Category:Philippine fraternities and sororities exists as a way to link notable examples. ★  Bigr   Tex  17:02, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I love the deletionists' reasoning: delete list, there is a category; delete category entries, they are unsourced; delete category, it's now empty. NVO (talk) 17:10, 20 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep and improve this one; individual article imo have no future. Maybe the phenomena of copycatting American college drinking does exist in the Philippines; maybe it is notable in scope, I'd give it a chance. NVO (talk) 17:07, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Absolutely delete: This article doesn't have a chance at passing notability and even if it did, it lacks the references and the sources. Plus everything that Guy said is also very true. Hairy  Perry  19:33, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep This is absolutely a discriminate list of encyclopedic value. See also List_of_fraternities_and_sororities. There are lots of references for the fraternities themselves They are insitutions with significant social, cultural and even economic influence. And a comprehensive list is quite useful.

 * Strong keep This list was split off from the List of fraternities and sororities in order to give a more coherent geographical area to both that list and the resulting one for the Philippines. Similarly, the one for Puerto Rico was split off, as well as, I believe, a list for similar groups in Europe. Some of the images are properly noted, for example, Alpha Phi Omega, but I recognize given the reference on the talk page that they may not be appropriate.Naraht (talk) 03:14, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep there are likely to be a number of these kept at afd. Therefore the list is justifiable. In this sort of case, with a finite universe of groups, all of which have some claim to some minimal significance, I don't think even a complete list would violate Not directory.
