Non-notable local chapter of a national organization. tregoweth 01:32, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nomination. — ceejayoz ^talk 02:00, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, sorry guys... National Fraternities are notable, but local chapters of a national fraternity are not.--Isotope23 02:37, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. NN, individual chapters not encyclopedic. WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_free_host_or_webspace_provider. Those articles would be much better located on an external hosting provider, so you can have forums, mailto forms, etc.--inks^T 02:40, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nomination. I wholeheartedly support the existence of an article about the national Alpha Phi Omega but not articles about the individual chapters. Student organizations that exist at only a single school (i.e. fraternity chapters) are generally non-notable. --Metropolitan90 04:04, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• DELETE ALL IN GROUP per nomination.-- NSLE _{(Communicate!)} ^<Contribs> 06:32, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete All nn, per above. Procedurally, these should have been listed in a single vote. Dottore So 10:18, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• delete per Isotope's, Metropolintan90's, argument. KillerChihuahua 11:28, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Alpha Phi Omega chapters are typically notable within the state and region (as defined by the national organization) for many service accomplishments. Chapters may also have famous/notable alumnus. --Animosity 11:58, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete with fire. Individual chapters of organizations are inherently non-notable.  RasputinAXP  talk * contribs 13:37, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete with prejudice. Non-notable fratcruft. Paul 16:21, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  •  RasputinAXP  and Paul, I ask that you refrain from making comments such as with fire, with prejudice and ____cruft that seem intended to inflame the anger of those who disagree with you, and that create a hostile, combative environment in the deletion forums. Such comments in the deletion forum from both sides of a debate are at the root of a large number of user conduct RFCs. Because article authors here in defense of their efforts are so frequently unfamiliar with the deletion forums until their article is here, I'd also ask that you grant them a little extra leeway in this regard, but also feel free to give them similar instruction to keep their debate based on factual terms.

    • Fiery and passionate I am, esp. when it comes to issues of notability...but I used the words I used for a reason. "Prejudice" isn't an insulting or attack word, it means "delete this article and any like it," i.e., let this set a precedent. "Fratcruft" is not meant to be insulting, it simply denotes (imho) unencyclopedic material similar to fancruft. Wikilove to all. Paul 06:06, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. These individual chapters are obviously unique enough to warrant articles separate from Alpha Phi Omega. Unfocused 17:38, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Isotope23. And for the record, I was never a member of any fraternity. --howcheng [ talk &#149; contribs &#149; web ] 20:32, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all the chapters. StarryEyes 23:38, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Lord. As usual, no fratcruft required. Wikipedia is not a free_host or webspace provider, and that's what's here.
• Delete - A non-notable local chapter of a national organization. --Camw 06:07, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I have cleaned up the page for readability and moved the discussion of notability et cetera to Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Alpha Epsilon Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega. Please place further comments there.  RasputinAXP  talk * contribs 15:24, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
