Registered Student Organizations at UMass Amherst


Unencyclopedic list. Any notable organizations can be discussed in the university's article or a separate article. --Slowking Man 14:39, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. This ends up being little more than an advert for the university in question. yandman  14:47, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Abstain. I created this page because the main article for UMass Amherst was too long. There has to be a better solution that merging the full list of RSOs back into the main article or deleting this page.Vvuppala 21:42, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: This doesn't mean the article in question meets Wikipedia's standards of inclusion. See WP:NOT.  This is a perfect example of something that may not fit on Wikipedia but which is quite welcome on UMassWiki and in fact already exists there. --Neurophyre(talk) 20:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Neurophyre, as long as the information is available, I'm happy. I thought it didn't belong in the main article, and I am generally hesitant to delete information, which is why I created a separate page for the information. I've changed my vote to abstain. Vvuppala 21:42, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If this article gets deleted I'll link to the external list in the main article. And again I'd encourage you (or anyone reading this) to contribute at UMassWiki.  There's a ton of information about UMass and the surrounding areas which doesn't pass Wikipedia's standards but which is relevant on UMassWiki, and I'd sure love more editors there! :) --Neurophyre(talk) 21:50, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete doesn't seem encyclopedic Hut 8.5 20:40, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Abstain. --Neurophyre(talk) 20:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's plenty of precedence to delete list of student organisation within any given university (for example York University student societoes) per wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and also per WP:ORG. AT best, this is a redirect to University of Massachusetts Amherst. Ohconfucius 04:03, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
