Queen's Engineering Society

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't meet WP:ORG. As noted on the talk page from 2009, "As it stands at this point this article is in despereate [sic] need of external secondary sources to establish notability." Nothing has improved since then and I cannot find enough WP:IS that justify its continued existence. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:07, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

 * weak keep or redirect to Queen's University#Student life. This is actually avery old society (100+ yrs), but I cannot find many good sources. They are no doubt out there somewhere. 96.127.242.251 (talk) 09:06, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Queen's University This is a society that has been around since the late 1800s, but it doesn't look like there is enough RS for an article, as far as I can see. I've checked Google, Google Scholar, Google books and Factiva. May be there is more in some commercial databases, but so far I couldn't see much that establishes it as notable, despite its age.

 * Redirect to Queen's University. It is quite rare for a university student society to qualify for a separate article from the university as a whole, because the depth and breadth of reliable source coverage needed to clear WP:ORGDEPTH is rarely available, and I'm not seeing any compelling evidence that this would be the exception to the rule.
