Queer Student Cultural Center
Was tagged as, which seems appropriate (article contains no assertion of notability). Speedy tag removed without comment by Mike 7, so bringing it here. Looks like this group has never merited more coverage than in the local paper (WP:V, WP:RS). Consensus seems to be to delete student groups. (Warwick Student Arts Festival, University of York Filmmaking Society, Native Americans at Dartmouth College). Voting delete for lack of notability. Puerto De La Cruz 18:08, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability. Deli nk 18:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Swansea University Computer Society was deleted with far greater claims to notability. Thryduulf 19:27, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable per references going back 37 years. Appears to have been a pioneering effort of its sort.Edison 21:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Native Americans at Dartmouth College is 36 years old according to the main Dartmouth College article, and we deleted that. The fact that this club has never been mentioned in anything other than local press  seems to suggest that it can't meet WP:RS.  It may have been early, but I can't find evidence that it was early enough to be notable in this regard.  Also note that the organization that was founded 37 years ago had a different name and represented different sexual preferences; this is a group that grew out of that one.

 * Keep Notable since it was one of the first GLBT student organizations in the country, founded in 1969. Can reference www.qscc.org for more information.Grewdawg 17:27 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That is their own site, thus not third-party. Please read the guideline.  Thanks.  Puerto De La Cruz 23:27, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes I did create site, but created it because the Q.S.C.C. was worth merit mentioning because of its unique status as the first gay/lesbian student organization in the country, before the Stonewall riots in June 1969. That is why its history section is the longest.  Futhermore, the guideline is "not set in stone".  Thanks.  User:Grewdawg 23:48 10 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, no sourced evidence for notability. Nonnotable organisations can have a long history, too. Sandstein 09:06, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
