Oxford Union Society Hilary 2005 Elections

 * Speedy It isn't really appropriate to publish details of Union elections on the web, especially as this is explicitly banned by the Union's rules. This page really shouldn't have been created, and the information isn't supposed to be in the public domain. I created this article in good faith, but have since been informed that I wasn't allowed to put this information on the web. Getting rid of it would avoid a lot of major hassle and possible legal problems, and get me off the hook. Please help! 62.190.239.12 4 July 2005 17:52 (UTC)
 * Jonathan Wright, do not delete my comments or you will be banned. Bajocbi 4 July 2005 19:56 (UTC)

Pfft - it's not that bad. Plus, it's quite funny.

I can't believe the amendment to the drugs entry was deleted, removing reference to the lib dems! shame!


 * Delete, I think it's the decent thing to do :D james gibbon  4 July 2005 18:30 (UTC)
 * Move to BJAODN just to make this guy's life miserable. Ground Zero 4 July 2005 18:58 (UTC)
 * KEEP This is very relevant information, Oxford Union Presidency is highly sought after and this tribunal made national newspapers; earlier tribunals made CNN, Fox News, Hindustan Times etc. Sapana Agrawal is already a minor celebrity. Bajocbi 4 July 2005 19:35 (UTC)
 * User's third edit. func (talk) 4 July 2005 20:17 (UTC)
 * Delete This is way too detailed. DJ Clayworth 4 July 2005 20:28 (UTC)
 * No, the Union churns out 3 elections and three presidents every year, and none of them have their own articles. This information can;t be described as relevant to anything, and moreover, it shouldn't be allowed on this site in the first place. Student politics doesn't really belong on this page, and I should have realised that before I posted - I'm trying my best to make amends now.
 * Anonymous comments do not count in the vote, Jonathan Wright. Bajocbi 4 July 2005 19:56 (UTC)
 * Delete. In truth, unencyclopedic. The Oxford Union Society is certainly worthy of inclusion, as might be an article on their elections in general, but to suggest that we would have an article on this particular year's election, and by extension, a whole article on every election they have ever had and will ever have, is silly. There are tens of thousands of elections that go on at universities; the bar should be pretty high for showing that any one of them is deserving of its own article. func (talk) 4 July 2005 20:09 (UTC)
 * Delete, per func. Ambi 4 July 2005 20:21 (UTC)
 * Delete, both because not at all notable, and because the only editor of the article desires it. Dcarrano July 4, 2005 20:27 (UTC)
 * Delete - University election details are unencyclopedic. --FCYTravis 4 July 2005 20:29 (UTC)
 * Delete External links from Oxford Union Society cover the votes and the tribunal --Henrygb 4 July 2005 21:27 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete articles requested by the only contributor to it. Double Blue  (Talk) 4 July 2005 21:30 (UTC)
 * Delete for goodness' sake, and User:Bajocbi is exhibiting strange behavior, seems to know who the first IP contributor is and to be attempting an attack on him - and the user did not exist before today, and made three edits before editing this page, and has not signed all of his comments on this page (which has an... unusual history for a VfD page) and did not assume good faith with respect to 62.190.239.12 removal of his his comment earlier. But that's beside the point - deletion requested by primary contributor. Sirmob 4 July 2005 22:09 (UTC)
 * Speedied per request of author. Dunc|&#9786; 4 July 2005 22:47 (UTC)
