Also nominating UW-Madison College Democrats, Georgetown University College Democrats

Poor naming issues aside (there is no such thing as "Cal Berkeley"), my understanding is that individual campus political groups are non-notable, as per their opponents, the (also inappropriately named) Berkeley College Republicans (AfD) and various other prior AfD's (see Republicans, Democrats). Otoh, the "Smart Ass" might deserve its own article per the California Patriot. ~ trialsanderrors 17:23, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete all These are all essentially local chapters of a larger organization. There simply is nothing here to support the notion that any of these groups are independently notable in any way. Perhaps a List of local chapters of College Democrats and List of local chapters of College Republicans is in order, but I see no compelling reason to have an idividual article for each and every chapter unless there is some compelling notability for said chapter.--Isotope23 18:15, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all per nom. Campus political orgnaizations are not notable simply by existence. Resolute 01:55, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all. Consensus has been to delete student groups; I see nothing to suggest that these might be especially notable. ergot 20:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep how does this materially differ from Cambridge_University_Labour_Club which survived afd due to notable alumni. [1] This club has the attorney-general of California as an alumnus. Seems to pass the notability threshhold. Carlossuarez46 21:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep They're real organizations. They exist. Why not have an entry for them? AdamBLang 21:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all I'm sorry, but AFD practice is pretty clear, and individual chapters of school groups are not inherently notable.-- danntm ^T _C 22:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all. Has the opportunity to be controversial. Let's stay off the soapbox.--WaltCip 16:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
