Pi Kappa Alpha - Gamma Chapter at the College of William & Mary
While a well-written history of this fraternity chapter, it has no business in Wikipedia; individual chapters are well below our standards of notability. Don't let its length deceive you, because it's adapted from a pre-existing source. I suggest we Userfy it for User:Djrobb, the only significant contributor, so that the fraternity can move it to their own webspace: Wikipedia is not a free web host. stillnotelf  has a talk page  20:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

(This comment was added before User:Stillnotelf got the nomination up): I received a notice that this article is being considered for deletion. I have been the primary contributor to this article and want to do what I can to preserve it. Can you please let me know why it is being considered and how it can be brought in line with the wikipedia rules? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Djrobb (talk • contribs) 20:55, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll be replying on your talk page shortly. --  stillnotelf   has a talk page  21:00, 23 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I have refactored some discussion to the talk page. Please continue to post long discussion there only. This is not taking away from the quality of the discussion, merely making sure it doesn't clog up the AFD day page. Stifle 22:11, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Userfy, then delete. I had questions about its notability from the start. Andy Saunders 00:30, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment: There is now extensive discussion at Talk:Pi Kappa Alpha - Gamma Chapter at the College of William & Mary. -- stillnotelf   has a talk page  03:11, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Why isn't it here? This is the spot to discuss the deletion of the article, not the associated Talk page. Andy Saunders 05:12, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Because it's a LOT of text, and multiply redundant. If you want to refactor it down into an AFD size/style discussion, go ahead :)  The distilled points are: the text on this nomination's talk page discussing possible notability, the opinion that http://www.wmpika.org/ (specifically the history tab, which is currently a link to the article in question) might be a better place to host this info, and a reference to List of bad article ideas, which explicitly lists nonfamous fraternity chapters.  --  stillnotelf   has a talk page  06:08, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I did my best to move it here. 69.143.115.178 19:11, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
