 * Delete The sources are merely routine announcements of the organizations speakers, and do not show notability of the organization. student groups like this are almost never notable.   DGG ( talk ) 03:19, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I cannot find any reliable sources at all outside the university discussing this organization.  It appears to be purely local in scope, and I cannot identify any way that it would meet Wikipedia's guidelines for inclusion for organizations. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 03:43, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Lack of coverage in reliable, independent sources. Wikipedia is not a soapbox for advertising university groups. Madcoverboy (talk) 04:45, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
