The White Rose Society (student group)


non-notable student group --Swpb talk contribs 19:41, 17 November 2006 (UTC) Whoever advocates deletion please contact colin@thewhiterosesociety.org Calling The White Rose Society a non-notable student group is arguably calling its namesake, The White Rose, a non-notable student group. The White Rose Society is a national student organization started at the University of Texas in Austin (UT). It was named the Best Political Organization at UT in 2006 and won the Hillel Foundation's William Haber Award for Excellence. Over 300 members are reported as members. The White Rose Society is the Save Darfur Coalition of Austin, a chapter of Challah for Hunger, a chapter of Students Taking Action Now Darfur, and now a partner of the Sudan Divestment Task Force. The White Rose Society is the leader in the Sudan Divestment Task Force of Texas campaigning the State of Texas to remove investments from companies supporting the government of Sudan. If you think that the HOLOCAUST and GENOCIDE IN DARFUR are not notable then feel free to delete this wikipedia page. Frakk
 * Speedy delete. CSD A7 - group with no assertion of notability. The majority of the article is also a copyvio from the group's website. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 20:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment This group does not in any way gain notability simply by associating itself with a notable event, or by naming itself after a notable group. According to the proposed policy Notability (organizations), "Individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article unless sufficient notability is established through reliable and verifiable sources." If you have verifiable information that shows how this group meets notability guidelines, please add it to the article. —Swpb talk contribs 20:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete. CSD G11 is more appropriate (and is so tagged). It is pure pork for a non-notable student group per WP:ORG or WP:CORP. False logic about references to the organisation's remembrance of the holocaust. My support of remembrance of the 911 attacks regrettably does not make me notable. The same is true of white rose.
