The result was Delete. University of York already mentions them, so there isn't really much to merge--Tikiwont 10:22, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

This is an article on York University's debating club. It was AfD'ed previously, deleted, and reposted, but the current version is somewhat different from the deleted version (diff) and seems to assert notability with phrases like "increasing its involvement in the national debating circuit" and "sends teams to inter-varsity competitions", so I thought of bringing it here to see what everyone thinks.

 * Comment: I'm not going to say anything about notability because I am ignorant of the norms for debating societies and school clubs in general - but there seems to be a distinct lack of sources. --Gwern (contribs) 15:59 24 October 2007 (GMT)
 * Delete. I believe there is general consensus that student clubs at particular schools or universities are not notable, unless there are solid sources establishing general notability.  I also note that the article was apparently deleted through AfD last year and recreated (at "York union", with different capitalization) this past March.  If the versions are substantially the same, I would urge speedy delete under WP:CSD. -David Schaich Talk/Cont 19:00, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
