Glasgow University Labour Club

University club, not notable. Astrotrain 23:26, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - college clubs are not notable unless there are special considerations that don't apply here. BlueValour 00:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The GU Labour Club has produced many prominent Labour apparatchiks. There are 13 articlespace links to the page, and I could presumably add to that if I could be bothered. Which special considerations ? Angus McLellan (Talk) 11:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Apart from the fact they have debates and invite politicans to speak (typical activities for a University politics club I would imagine)- what have they done to be notable? Astrotrain 12:02, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This is actually a significant organisation in Scottish politics, and arguably in UK politics as a whole. It has been, and continues to be, a vital training ground for many senior politicians. As such it is an encyclopaedic topic. The article as it stands is bare, but the topic, which is what this AfD discussion is, or should be, about, is notable (certainly more notable than this topic, which I note that the proposer, Astrotrain, has voted to keep.) --Mais oui! 10:42, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep A handful of student associations (eg Oxford Union)) can be notable. This has been the cradle of many Scottish Labour politicians. Catchpole 12:07, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Nearly all politicians who went to university had the university political goup as "a vital training ground". Individual political societies at universities are not inherently notable. Timrollpickering 12:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It's debatable what the threshhold of notability is in relation to student clubs. However we do have Glasgow University Scottish Nationalist Association. We also had Glasgow University Shinty Club, although it may have been deleted. PatGallacher 19:03, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - one has been deleted and the other is subject to an AfD. BlueValour 19:01, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The club itself is not in anyway notable in relation to the wiki criteria. --manchesterstudent 18:52, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - not inherently notable. Warofdreams talk 22:49, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete very clearly fails WP:ORG. I quote: "Individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article". None of the other notability criteria are met. Ohconfucius 06:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
