[edit] Alpha Club
nn, possisbly vanity, only sources are from internal college newspapers, and as such is of interest only to those at the college. Needs a real assertion and justification of notability; it currently does not have that Batmanand | Talk 10:29, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete.
Comment: Could be significant for women's history at the College of William and Mary, and I would be comfortable voting "keep" with good references, but the current weblinks are not really sufficient. Has anything been published in print about it? I looked at JSTOR which includes the complete The William and Mary Quarterly 1892-2000. It has loads of hits for Phi Beta Kappa and various other societies, but nothing on "Alpha Club" (nor is it found elsewhere in JSTOR). Any other useful search terms? (BTW, why is The William and Mary Quarterly a red link? Even my Swedish university library has that journal.) Tupsharru 11:55, 9 April 2006 (UTC) - Changed to a clear "delete" vote, as no improvements have been made to the article or its sourcing. Tupsharru 08:32, 12 April 2006 (UTC) - Delete. I put a prod2 template up on this. As far as secret societies go, Skull and Bones at Yale is notable. This one isn't. Brian G. Crawford 15:12, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- I protest your comment that it is of interest only to those at the college - I don't find it interesting, and I am at the College. :) With that in mind, I agree with Tupsharru that it is keepable if sources can be found, but lacking something on its notability I'm inclined to delete it. For now, I'll abstain. -- stillnotelf is invisible 16:26, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
