Students' Union University of Greenwich

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable student organization of the sort that every university has. I tried redirecting to the university's article but that was overridden. Largoplazo (talk) 15:02, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Almost every other Students' Union has a page List of Students' Unions in the United Kingdom, precedence has been set, you also tried to redirect not even a few hours after the page was made and was being edited. There is still more information to put on this page.

 * A quick survey of that page show that many of those pages are actually redirects to the associated university, and several of the ones that aren't have tags questioning their notability. - GretLomborg (talk) 16:00, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Based on the unlikelihood that a given student group within an institution of learning is of any note outside that institution (unless it's a group that competes or performs at large, like an athletic team or high-profile a cappella group), I checked very quickly and satisfied my expectation that the organization wouldn't meet the notability guidelines. Though an article's contents can lead an editor to evidence of notability that might otherwise have been missed, even the current, fuller version of this article doesn't do that; and notability is independent of the contents of the article.

 * If this is the case then almost every other student union page will need to be deleted, I just picked one at random King's College London Students' Union 14 of their 19 references are to their own website or the universitie and the other 5 are to not very noteworth news articles from very minor sources. Another random one Staffordshire University Students' Union, 6 references 5 to themselves, 1 to 'One Media Group'. Precedence has been set by allowing other students' unions with even less notability to have pages. MaxGreyson (talk) 16:57, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
 * You may be right that those other pages are subject to deletion. I've submitted articles for deletion before when they've been presented for comparison with a new article being considered for deletion. It generally isn't a matter of "allowing" those articles to exist but of no one having evaluated them before. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Largoplazo (talk) 17:23, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I've just redirected Staffordshire University Students' Union to Staffordshire University. Largoplazo (talk) 17:29, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I've been going through List of Students' Unions in the United Kingdom and de-linking redirects (and also creating redirects to the Uni for the redlinks before I remove them). That'll hopefully discourage the creation of non-notable articles in the future.  I've finished the A's and B's. GretLomborg (talk) 05:24, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
 * See Articles for deletion/Aston Students' Guild, I've noticed a few that were speedy deleted without discussion for non-notability as well. - GretLomborg (talk) 05:24, 27 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Fails to meet WP:GNG and WP:ORG.  All the coverage I can find is very shallow of the passing mention variety. - GretLomborg (talk) 15:53, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. I searched for third-party coverage and could not find much.  The Huffington Post article is about a different subject, which has its own article.  There is not enough third-party coverage to meet the general notability guidelines.  Malinaccier  ( talk ) 02:52, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
