Student Association of Missouri

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a defunct group of 12 delegates from assorted Missouri colleges to lobby Missouri government. No WP:Reliable Sources. No assertion of WP:Notability. Plenty of WP:Original Research. Would merge, but nothing to merge it to. RedShiftPA (talk) 02:04, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep' - This is an historical document that pertains to events that occurred in Missouri. This should remain a separate article.  Information can be verified by contacting the colleges involved.  Wiki should support historical records for future generations of college students and as the premier on-line encyclopedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.207.173.112 (talk) 06:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - failure to assert notability. —TreasuryTag talk  contribs  08:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Ongoing discussion on notability of student unions/student governments on TF:SA and WP:UNI. This article should not be deleted (along with all the other student union articles on AfD at the moment until clear guidelines on student unions may be reached.  WP:NOT.  Also note possible proposal of WikiProject Students' Unions, which is in the WPCouncil at the moment.  The supporters of the project believes that all students unions have inherit notability regardless of sufficient coverage using standard WP:ORG.   - Jameson L.

 * Comment I really doubt that "all students unions have inherent notability." 1) They are always local in scope, since they are connected to a particular campus. 2) They rarely (if ever) have an reliable third party coverage. 3) Once you delete all of the unverified, unencyclopedic, original researched material, all that remains is a stub. So, it just makes sense to merge the students unions into their main article. 4)WP:UNI's own standards call for students unions to be merged into the main article.--RedShiftPA (talk) 16:08, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * "Student life - Here is also a good place to mention ...students' union activities" (from UNI)


 * Keep.--andreasegde (talk) 13:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I searched for any real coverage, found none. If this were a defunct association of car dealers in Missouri, would anybody consider it worthy of an article on Wikipedia? No; the only reason anybody considers this notable, let alone inherently notable, is because it has something to do with universities. Paddy Simcox (talk) 17:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, Wikipedia has no deadline. GreenJoe 19:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Not to be defficult or anything, but before citing WP:NOT shouldn't you have checked to make sure it says that "Wikipedia has no deadline", whatever that means? Mangoe (talk) 22:32, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It used to list it there. You can also find it at WP:DEADLINE. GreenJoe 15:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, per nom there is absolutely no assertion of notability. This association has not received significant coverage in third party sources, and as it no longer exists it isn't likely to receive it now. The notability of the school is not inheritable to the student organizations. Collectonian (talk) 02:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:ORG, is rift of WP:OR, because of no WP:V. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 21:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Should consider merging with Bulldog Party article. Notablity is apparent, it was a very notable occurence in Missouri Higher ED and at very least its existence if a very notable product of the Bulldog Party BCV (talk) 06:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
