[edit] Take Back UMass
Non-notable student group. The relevent information has already been merged into University of Massachusetts Amherst. This page should be deleted. peachlette 01:03, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- If merge, then redirect - they're cheap and can discourage recreation of the page. ESkog | Talk 01:41, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

- Comment: I knew that would probably get suggested. I just think it is incredibly unlikely that anyone will be looking up this organization. As you say, though, redirects are cheap. I wouldn't be opposed to that, I just see no reason to keep it around. peachlette 03:50, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: There is another reason why I would argue a redirect is preferred/required here: you say that the information has been merged into another article. Because of the GFDL, a merge requires a redirect - we can't delete the old page because the page history for the merged information goes with it. ESkog | Talk 05:46, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: That's reasonable. The only reason I merged it was to avoid upsetting its original author. I don't know that it even really belongs on the UMass page. I think the place for it is really the UMass wiki. peachlette 08:44, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

- Delete because there is no proof (or even assertion) that the group has made any impact at Amherst or elsewhere. This isn't a directory. Pilatus 04:07, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- As so often, Pilatus quite right. Delete it. Eusebeus 10:14, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
