Take Back NYU!

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

Article about an organization or student movement that was previously PRODed and seems to still need to meet the requirements for inclusion based on neutrality and basic notability guidelines. ←Signed:→ Mr. E. Sánchez  Get to know me! / Talk to me! ←at≈:→ 23:33, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I would lean towards keeping this, as the group's activities have attracted considerable attention in various media sources. I would add that it needs some work on neutrality. --L. Pistachio (talk) 23:53, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: This group's page only exists because of an isolated incident that was hardly even covered in local NYC newspapers. Thus there is not significant coverage by secondary sources, as required by the notability guidelines. NYU Local and the Washington Square News are NYU student-run media outlets, which do not qualify as secondary.— Noetic  Sage  18:21, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: This involves one major protest, so it may involve notoriety for a single event, for which it may be deleted. Disclosure: I'm not taking a stance because of a conflict of interest - the BF works for NYU. Bearian (talk) 20:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - 'famous' for a single event; no lasting notability (as of yet). If they become involved in a prolonged campaign that receives media attention, they may become notable, but I don't think they are because of this one protest. Robofish (talk) 16:05, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - there is an element of WP:SOAPBOX to this article, and WP:NOTNEWS applies. -- Whpq (talk) 21:08, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
