Veritas financial group

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

A procedural nomination to determine editorial viability. This article was already the subject of a declined speedy delete nomination (a justified admin action, IMHO) and a removed Prod tag. A Google news search only turns up a single BusinessWeek article on the subject:. WP:ORG requires coverage in more than one media source, which is lacking here.

 * DO NOT Delete - It is one of the largest groups at the most renowned academic institution in the world. It is indeed referenced in the Harvard College page - and it has the most widespread and noted sponsorship of any pre-professional club at Harvard, and likely the United States.  It is also perhaps the most well represented group in the financial services industry for the past three years- with many graduates going on to work on Wall Street.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harvard1995 (talk • contribs) 14:56, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - how can an organisation that's not even 2 years old have a "global reputation for producing leaders and innovators in the financial services industry" already? It's not notable enough to be even referenced on the Harvard Business School or Harvard College pages - sounds to me like a student society with a posh name. The news story linked to from the article itself says "it's the 13th undergraduate business organization available on the Cambridge campus alone." ~ Excesses ~  (talk) 12:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, clubs at individual colleges aren't generally notable, and this doesn't seem like an exception to that rule. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong delete Notability clearly not established by sources. ukexpat (talk) 16:12, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Harvard is notable and this prominent campus organization should be by extension. Other less notable groups Leadership Institute at Harvard College, [Radcliffe Pitches]], for example have pages.


 * Neutral/Comment, If anything, the article is misleading. The article reads "...has a global reputation for producing leaders and innovators..." and uses reference #2 to back this claim. However, the reference listed makes no such backing to this claim, and states that Veritas is one of many such organizations on the Harvard campus. At this point, I really can't say for one way or the other. If expanded upon and given additional sources, it could be notable for it's pramirly minority membership and if it actually has any notable alumni (which may be unlikely given the relatively short span of time since it's inception). Again, this is only provided it is backed by reputable 3rd party sources, and properly referenced in the article. JogCon (talk) 20:06, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Do not delete, so far the arguments only validate an edit. The page should exist because the article attracts interest from many Harvard students who wish to learn more about the organization. Although it can be argued that the "misleading" parts of the article should be changed, deleting the page all together would not be fair to the club and those who simply want to find out more. It would undermine the services that wiki provide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rendude (talk • contribs) 22:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)  — Rendude (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
