LSU Student Government Spring Election, 2007

A brief mention in the LSU article might be meaningful, but an article about student politics would not be. Consider the precedent. An article about every school's elections every year that they're held, since student elections were held? How many thousands of articles would that be? The LSU Student Government itself is barely notable enough for a mention in the school's article. Corvus cornix 23:38, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strongest delete possible. I get chills thinking about the prospect that someone out there is actually contemplating articles for each year of LSU student government elections. Not notable by any means. I doubt that the campus newspaper went into this depth, and for good reason. Realkyhick 23:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I cast a vote of no confidence per WP:N. --Bfigura ^(talk) 00:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Like the LSU Student Senate, you're not going to find any coverage of this election outside of LSU-affiliated sources, much less in reliable ones. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 01:39, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as lacking coverage from independent sources Corpx 03:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
~~Speedy~~ Strong delete. In addition to all of the problems cited by the nom and all the previous commenters, the article links various student government members, named and unnamed, with three different "-gate scandals", without sourcing, thus raising concerns under WP:BLP. --Metropolitan90 04:19, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, the article creator was apparently a campaign manager for one of the candidates in this election, thus making the article a conflict of interest as well. --Metropolitan90 04:22, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Upon further consideration, it appears that violation of WP:BLP is not by itself a criterion for speedy deletion. --Metropolitan90 03:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete Why should such article exist on Wikipedia? It is totally non-notable election! RS1900 10:08, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. Definitely a non-notable election. Keb25 11:04, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all of the above. It is a NN local election. If there was real controversy, say indictments, then I would have an article on it. Bearian 17:30, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete No notability. The user who created the page should be told about Wikipedia guidelines. You've nominated both his articles for deletion, so you do the honors. - Cyborg Ninja 18:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Gee, thanks. :) Well, I did. I hope I was explanatory enough. Corvus cornix 19:04, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
