Monash University Gippsland Student Union

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

Non-notable organization by WP:ORG. It is the student union for a particular subcampus of a university. Paddy Simcox (talk) 13:31, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. I would otherwise suggest it be merged into the subcampus' article, but since it already is word for word, and it's not notable... WilliamH (talk) 15:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perfectly notable institution, and the nominator is running around the project hitting student union articles at random. Rebecca (talk) 21:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Even if I was "hitting them at random" that doesn't make this organization notable. Please assume good faith (that is, I am nominating this article because I believe it is on a not-notable topic) and prove notability rather than arbitrarily claiming that it is notable. Paddy Simcox (talk) 21:57, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You're also singling out a whole ton of random student union articles from all over the world. You have absolutely no idea whether this is notable or not. Rebecca (talk) 23:56, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How does somebody single something out by nominating articles from all over the world? Those things are the opposite of each other. An organization is made notable by sources, which this one doesn't have. Paddy Simcox (talk) 06:51, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The point I'm getting at is that this article is superfluous on a word for word basis to the subcampus article itself. There is nothing which it elaborates or provides greater detail on. WilliamH (talk) 13:05, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This organization's sister Monash University Student Union Caulfield was nominated for deletion in November, with the result being "Merge/redirect". Paddy Simcox (talk) 22:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Student Unions aren't inherently notable, and there no evidence that this particular union is notable, so delete under WP:ORG. (Unless evidence of notability pops up. But for now, 0 hits on google news. -- B figura  (talk) 03:55, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Would only merit an article if there was something distinctive to set it apart from other student unions, apart from its location. An uphill battle, methinks.  Murtoa (talk) 04:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to general article on Monash Student Unions - why is there no general article on all student unions at Monash instead articles that aren't worth keeping on each campus? Can someone please write this article? JRG (talk) 12:20, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, Monash student unions in general seem to have plenty of notability and secondary coverage . Perhaps the solution is to write a general article on all of the Monash student unions, because they definitely have collective notability.  With that said, there seems to be enough written about the actions of this organisation and people within it to just move it across the notability line.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 04:43, 22 March 2008 (UTC).
 * Perhaps the solution is to include those news reports in the Monash University articles where they belong. They do not demonstrate the notability of the union, but are about typical funding/political conflicts that involve the University for which the opinion of students was mentioned.

 * Merge to Monach University student unions. Twenty Years 13:10, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete, mainly due to the lack of secondary sources and a total lack of useful information (Students are elected to positions each year? And they deal with a range of student issues? Fancy that!). Could be ok as a stub if secondary sources are introduced.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 14:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Week keep An article on the student union should not be too difficult to source should someone be interested. If a merge is the outcome, the merge should be with Monash University Gippsland and not the main Monash Student Union article. -- Mattinbgn\talk 23:27, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
