[edit] University of Limerick History Society

A nn university club that was formed 8 years ago, and does not appear to have won any awards, and does not seem large enough to be particularly notable in size. My Prod was removed without comment.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 00:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• "The Society is one of a number of societies in the University. It is one of many societies and clubs..." Article does not assert notability of the society, making it one of many to be speedy deleted. Kimchi.sg 03:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC) Hmm... the awards claim is buried in the end of the article. Still delete, they won only an internal Club and Societies award. Kimchi.sg 04:02, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Interesting article. Good idea for a club, too. I wouldn't mind stealing it. Ambi 04:59, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I agree with Ambi, but Ambi, don't! (steal the idea). --MaNeMeBasat 06:44, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm not that impressed with a society that has been around for only eight years (there is a History society at my university that was founded in 1862), the award is just local, and it is highly debatable whether anything in this article is verifiable through any sources, let alone reputable ones. This society has a website where every page contains nothing but the words "Content goes here", and it has a minimal entry at the University of Limerick clubs & societies website, which does not even support the content of the Wikipedia article. If it is actually kept, please remove that current-and-recent-official-cruft that seems to pollute every article on student societies. I think it is fine to mention members prominent for other reasons or to have separate lists of historical presidents or other officials going back a century or two, where at least some non-negligable proportion of these have gone on to do something notable (e.g. List of Cambridge Union Society Presidents), but listing some student who was treasurer last year is really just vanity (nothing personal against that individual in particular, I just took that as an example).

• Delete- does not come close to any reasonable standard of notability. Reyk _YO! 11:36, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Dlyons493. --Srikeit^{(talk ¦ ✉)} 14:02, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No assertion of notability (unlike, eg, OUCA or the Cambridge Union Society). Batmanand | Talk 15:29, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per Blnguyen and Tupsharru. -- Kjkolb 16:02, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Every university in the UK (and presumably Eire) has dozens of these societies. Almost without exception each and every one of them is not notable. This one seems no more notable than any of the others. Marcus22 16:54, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
