Does not follow Notability guidelines. Acidskater 02:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It looks like a delete at first glance, but could you clarify your deletion rationale? I'm not quite sure what you mean. Cheers, faithless   (speak)  02:49, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I went into more detail on the talk page. Acidskater 04:58, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect Thanks for clearing that up. Redirect (not merge) to Phi Sigma Kappa. faithless   (speak)  05:04, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete: Per nom (NN). - Rjd0060 02:59, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Phi Sigma Kappa. --Merovingian (T, C, E) 03:08, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * (ec) Delete per WP:ORG: "Individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article unless sufficient notability is established through reliable sources." I don't see any sources that support the independent notability of this chapter. Deor 03:11, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * And since Phi Sigma Kappa does not contain information about individual chapters (other than ones of historical interest within the organization), I oppose the merge suggested by Merovingian. Deor 03:17, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Not even an external link? --Merovingian (T, C, E) 03:33, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, the addition of an external link is not what I understand "merge" to mean; but since you ask, no. Why should there be a link to this particular chapter when there are links to no others? The Web site of the national organization, which is linked to, contains "Our Chapters" subpages that include links to the sites of the chapters. Deor 03:47, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per standard. &mdash;ScouterSig 04:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into George Mason University. --Brewcrewer 04:45, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't see why it needs to be merged into George Mason University. While notability guidelines do say that notability does not govern what is placed into articles, I don't see this being important to the George Mason article itself. If there was a page about GMU greek life (i.e.Greek life at the University of Georgia, Dartmouth College Greek organizations, etc.), then I could see a merge. Please expand on your reasoning for a merge. Acidskater 04:55, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The social activities and the organizations of the school are part of the description of the school. --Brewcrewer 05:11, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The organizations and activities of GMU greek life are already listed in the GMU Greek Life section. If you plan on expanding this information for this single chapter, then each chapter should have a section expanded for them as well. I'd suggest creating a page such as Dartmouth College Greek organizations, but you will need to prove notability for that as well. Acidskater 05:16, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, ok, merge it into that section. Just because one chapter is expanded and the rest aren't doesn't mean that it can't be merged into that section. --Brewcrewer 05:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
