Theta Nu Pi

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

This eight-person LGBT sorority was founded in Sept 2008 and is not notable. DGG wants an AfD to be sure. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 04:20, 28 November 2008 (UTC) — Aemok (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete, an eight-person organisation with little or no secondary coverage, as far as I can see. Would appear to not meet the WP:ORG notability criteria.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:36, 28 November 2008 (UTC).

 * Delete - fails WP:ORG (I'm sure :-)). TerriersFan (talk) 17:55, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Do not Delete - This is not an 8 person LGBT sorority. It has worked hard to gain acknowledgment from the University of South Florida, The Womens Studies Department, as well as other groups such as local HRC representatives.  As for the notability of Theta Nu Pi, it is the first sorority that bases its member class openly. Aemok  —Preceding undated comment was added at 18:15, 28 November 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete Unnotable organization. Tavix (talk) 22:00, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Do not Delete - We are an officially recognized Greek-lettered organization at the University of South Florida. We have been recognized not only through the Women's Studies department and the Office of Student organizations but also on the local level from the Human Rights Campaign. We are notable because we do not base entrance into our member classes on gender presentation. Many of our members are LGBT but that does not define us as strictly an LGBT organization. We exist to serve the needs of those searching for sisterhood from all walks of life. Our article is not harming anyone, causing your servers to be overloaded because of ridiculous amounts of formatting or traffic or otherwise negatively affecting the Wikimedia Foundation. While we may not be relevant to you, we are relevant to many other people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.47.145.168 (talk • contribs)
 * Do Not Delete - Theta Nu Pi has received recognition from the University of South Florida and the autonomous Women's Studies Department. The Human Rights Campaign is in the process of recognizing Theta Nu Pi as a philanthropic Greek social organization that upholds its civil rights values and goals. Regarding notability, Theta Nu Pi is the first sorority that accepts all gender presentations. Common Wikimedia notability criteria (such as website links and published articles) are forthcoming.

 * Do not Delete -The members of Theta Nu Pi exceed 8 and are rapidly growing in size. In addition to being recognized by various organizations, academic and otherwise, Theta Nu Pi represents a key turning point in the nature of collegiate socio-political units. It serves a valuable point of interest to the rising number of academics interested in the subject of official, yet non-normative, organizations. Many such organizations are new and a network such as Wikipedia is invaluable in being able to locate phenomenon critical to gender studies, especially in regards to Queer Theory. Finally, this organization is exceedingly important to not only its members, but to potential members and allies who seek to find and continue such unique establishments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghostgolem (talk • contribs) 05:46, 29 November 2008 (UTC)  — Ghostgolem (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete The organization may be notable some day in the future, but it is not now. "exceedingly important to...potential members and allies who seek to find and continue such unique establishments." indicates that an important purpose of this article is self-promotional. There are many good places for it, but Wikipedia is not one of them. but it was a little too descriptive to fall under G11. DGG (talk) 23:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
