Non-notable local student council conference of non-notable student government associations. Article is orphaned, unsourced, totally original research, and makes no assertion of notability.RedShiftPA (talk) 06:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Well, I knew this might be a borderline case. However, for the record, it is not a local student council. Rather, it is a conference that annually gathers together student government leaders from all over the country to share their insights/experiences, which I am told are helpful to the attendees in administering their own student governments. That is of course the rationale used to justify spending thousands of dollars on travel expenses to send them there. An unstated reason for attending is the opportunity to stay up till 3 AM getting plastered and potentially hooking up with one or more random people you'll never see again, but that goes without saying and we need not go there.

• Weak keep As the national organisation it is probably notable.DGG (talk) 18:06, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment That almost makes me inclined to weak keep, if only on the basis of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Obuibo Mbstpo (talk) 20:40, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment If you look at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, you'll see that this is not generally a strong argument to cite in AFDs. Also, if you look, most of those articles are either in the process of merging into the main articles or going through their own AFDs.--RedShiftPA (talk) 20:54, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. An unsourced, unnotable very niche conference. AnmaFinotera (talk) 02:33, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Seems notable to me if 550 student unions get together to talk about issues of common interest. They all have large memberships, so that's a lot of students they are representing. Wikipedia has no deadline. GreenJoe 17:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - sounds notable to me. Peterkingiron (talk) 01:40, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - no evidence or assertion of notability; fails WP:ORG. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:11, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
