Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Australian Labor Students

There was only one vote for merge, and it (and any other alternatives) were more than swamped by the keep votes for Australian Labor Students. I will be making that editorial decision to keep the article split, and since it just (easily) survived a deletion discussion, I will push for a speedy keep should someone insist on wasting our time again.

 * Wrong - there were 7 deleters (including nominator) to 4 keepers. TerriersFan 16:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No. There were, in the last incarnation, four keepers, one merge, and one deleter. If you wish to merge, you need to get a consensus to do that merge. Rebecca 17:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

If you want the article to be safe from deletion, then I urge you to locate multiple independent secondary sources. --SmokeyJoe 01:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It just survived an AfD. Accordingly, if it is nominated again, I will be pushing for a speedy keep for disruption. ("I didn't get my way this time, maybe if I do the same thing again tomorrow I might"). Rebecca 03:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I've looked and I can't find any; as far as I can see this article fails WP:V and WP:N. There are no RS on Google here and little on Google archives here. Certainly, there is nothing to underpin 99% of the content. This is why I suggested a merge was the best solution but Rebecca is insisting on a separate article and undoes my merges.

 * There is more to sourcing than a Google search, and this is not where those of us who argued to keep the article got our sources. What you're failing to recognise is that you are not charged with deciding what is in your opinion the best outcome for the article - you're charged with interpreting the consensus that is there. Moreover, the merged version of National Union of Students looked absolutely ridiculous - the content didn't fit there at all. Rebecca 03:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That's fine, but we have moved on from the AfD to discussing how best to deal with the article - will you please cite those sources or suggest a less 'absolutely ridiculous' merge target? TerriersFan 15:39, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Conversation moved to Talk:Australian Labor Students now we are discussing the future of the article. TerriersFan 16:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
