 * Delete; lack of independent coverage that would establish notability. -- Diannaa (talk) 18:42, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Notability is inherited from the University itself since every member of the University is also a member of the society, the society is integral of the University. Re WP:INHERIT: There are many articles on Wikipedia where we allow inheritance for practical concerns. INHERIT is an essay about general arguments to avoid in AfD discussions, it isn't a guideline or policy that disallows inheritance on Wikipedia when needed. In this case it would be impossible to merge an article of this length into National University of Ireland, Galway which itself is already very long so for practical reasons we need more than one article to cover the University. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 07:05, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep as a long established society with an important role in a very famous university. But I want to specifically dissociate myself from the previous "keep" argument-- notability is not inherited in this fashion, because if it were, every single student club, indeed every single student, at every university would be notable. It can be inherited in the other direction--if an organization has hundreds of notable members, then that organization can probably be considered notable. And in the case of a few very famous people, aspects of their life that would not otherwise be notable can become so--but that is a very rare assumption (e.g., we usually accept the notability of spouses of heads of state, but not heads of government).

 * This one is unique because every student in the university is a member by default, it is an integral part of the university, unlike nearly every other student club which has exclusivity, this one is totally inclusive. Thus an integral part of the University. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 03:02, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
