University of Oregon Investment Group

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This has been speedy deleted and prod-deleted, it's time to get a full community consensus. Ultimately, there are no reliable sources establishing the notability of an organization- in this case, a student club. There are two possible sources given: the first is from the school newspaper. the second (an article at thestreet.com) is certainly a great source for establishing notability and encyclopedic "fit" of the article. However, that doesn't mean that it meets the rule of "significant coverage". That means this article is hinging on one decent source (with respect to WP:V).

Let me use a poor argument to make my point: specifically, I'll use WP:BIG. That is, if this was a private investment group or fund, a million dollars wouldn't qualify for an article. It's effectively play money: each of the 30 members is responsible for about $33,000 of the fund. That's a tiny number.

It's possible that these university investment clubs would be notable if the (theoretical multiple) secondary sources were collected and an article about University investment clubs was written. That doesn't mean an individual club is encyclopedic, though. tedder (talk) 16:41, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete or alternatively, merge and redirect to the university article. Tedder makes a clearly convincing argument that it doesn't quite meet notability standards for an organization, considering that the one source used with a reputation for fact checking and editorial structure (the school paper) is not independent of the subject.

 * Delete - University organization and I don't see any independent indication that it's notable. Shadowjams (talk) 07:01, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Completely non-notable student organization. Not even worthy of a merge. --Crunch (talk) 23:29, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable per WP:GROUP, with no WP:RS (the school paper is hardly independent) indicating otherwise. -- Kinu t /c  08:40, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - Agree with above no indication of notability (reason for speedy is creator has blanked the page, which I restored as per the AfD notice).Codf1977 (talk) 20:54, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
