Alpha Epsilon Zeta

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Single chapter college club. No third party sources to establish notability, as required by WP:GNG. GrapedApe (talk) 18:56, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Is this not third party? Although I'm unsure as to whether fraternities are connected to the university in any way, I'd say the article is a third party source. Buggie111 (talk) 19:06, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- A fraternity gaining coverage in a college newspaper does not qualify as "sufficiently significant attention by the world at large," as described in WP:GNG. If it did, every single club at every campus would probably qualify.--GrapedApe (talk) 19:32, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - That coverage is from the San Jose Mercury News, not a college newspaper (though the link itself is to a CSU site). That is definitely an RS and a regional publication from a major metro area. I will see if there is additional coverage. Churn and change (talk) 20:43, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Why does the link point to a calstate.edu address? Buggie111 (talk) 20:53, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Because the University Public Affairs Office chose to keep a copy. It was originally published in the San Jose Mercury News.Naraht (talk) 14:46, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - I have hosted a copy of the original article pulled from newsbank here. It is the same article. Am looking for more sources. Note that college newspaper articles are acceptable, as long as there is at least one regional publication among the sources. Churn and change (talk) 15:24, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Delete Thank you for the clarification. Buggie111 (talk) 19:34, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- - Keep Article in the Mercury News is from non college newspaper.Naraht (talk) 14:46, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Even so, 1 article does not notability make.--GrapedApe (talk) 15:38, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. (I was going to suggest a redirect to University of California, Berkeley#Student life and traditions, but it turns out that the name Alpha Epsilon Zeta is not unique to this organization [1] so that would not be appropriate.) This single-campus, less-than-10-year-old fraternity has simply not gained the notability required to satisfy WP:ORG. --MelanieN (talk) 00:35, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I looked through the hits on this and the majority for an another organization is for an Honor Society at Rider which is even less well known. (there were a lot of AEZ *chapters*)Naraht (talk) 01:41, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
