List of office bearers of the National Union of Students of Australia

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Does not meet the general notability guideline. I have made a good faith search for sources, and can only find sources for the current OBs, and this is not from an independent source. A list of current OBs may be notable, but this is already in the article National Union of Students (Australia). -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 13:43, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator. See the talk page for a more detailed list of my concerns. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 13:45, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, the NUSA are a very significant student advocacy group in Australia. I don't disagree that it should be sourced better, but I don't think that's sufficient to delete. I suspect that this will turn out to be a no consensus again though, just like the last three times it was submitted. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 14:42, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete/merge. This is a fundamentally useful list that I've long argued to keep, and it should stay online somewhere. However, our sourcing standards have changed over the years, and most of the material here is close to impossible to reliably source by current standards. I would merge whatever can be reliably sourced - the presidents, and probably the general secretaries, into National Union of Students of Australia; regrettably, I think the rest needs to go unless someone's willing to work out how to source the damn thing.

 * Delete per Rebecca. I think a summary of the current office holders would be appropriate on the National Union of Students of Australia page (provided of course a reliable source can be found) but otherwise this is just a massive list of non-notable people.

 * Delete - I am happy to be guided by Rebecca on such pages. I agree with her that adding a list of past-presidents to the main page is appropriate provided it can be sourced. I am not advocating a straight merge because it is bad practice to merge unsourced material. If these lists are significant enough to be online the best way forward would be for the Union to add it to their website. TerriersFan (talk) 17:55, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, but merge the list of presidents (and possibly general secretaries). Would agree with TerriersFan that it would be a worthwhile consideration for the organisation to list this info themselves - I do a lot of stuff related to local government and it's frustrating the level of research one needs to do to simply determine past mayors of a city or town.

 * Merge sourceable content to National Union of Students (Australia). Regards,    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 12:13, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a directory, and it is certainly not for Facebook-like listings of officers of organizations, especially student organizations. Abductive  (reasoning) 03:38, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
