Sigma Alpha Kappa
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable single chapter club. A fraternity at 1 college campus, no other chapters, and no recognition by any fraternity umbrella organization. No indication that the club had even any lasting importance at the 1 college. No third party sources to demonstrate notability, as required by WP:GNG. Fails WP:N and WP:ORG. Only sources are WP:SELFPUB. Article was subject to previous AFD that had no discussion and an expired PROD, later contested. GrapedApe (talk) 11:55, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This organization has been around since 1923. Though the article doesn't note any, I'd be shocked to discover that there are no RS such as local and university press.   little green rosetta $central scrutinizer (talk)$ 12:01, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, first, it dissolved in 2003, so it's not still around. Second, would you please prove your assertion that independent reliable sources exist by locating them for us and working them into the article? Otherwise this article certainly fails general notability guidline.  I couldn't find any, but you seem confident that you can find them.--GrapedApe (talk) 12:24, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I know for a fact that this fraternity still exists. Nowhere in the article does it state that the fraternity has been disbanded, so I don't know where you got that assertion. It has had several mentions in Loyola's campus newspaper, and I'll try to find some atrributions to add to the article. Samwisep86 (talk) 17:31, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Either the article text is a copyright violation of the official Fraternity blog (or the blog copies wikipedia without attribution) at any rate not notable. All the current citations links fail and cannot find anything independent. Alanscottwalker (talk) 21:17, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. This appears to fail WP:CLUB as I can find no "substantial verifiable evidence of coverage by reliable independent sources outside the organization's local area". Loyola's campus newspaper clearly doesn't count toward that, and everything else seems to emanate from the organization itself. Deor (talk) 14:32, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
