Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Model United Nations Cheadle Hulme
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Do Not Delete or Redirect. Simply because there are a large number of MUN conferences on Wikipedia, it does not mean that MUNCH should not be allowed to represent itself. It is the spirit of Wikipedia, and also the United Nations, to be inclusive and representative. By deleting this page on the basis that there are other similar pages is not fair, nor in the spirit of wikipedia! Secondly, the content in no way shape or form advertises the event. The content simply informs any reader of the inner workings of the conference and what occurs. It is honest and accurate. It does not encourage attendance and provides the official web site address, as other organisations and pages do. If this is advertising then the entirety of Wikipedia is advertising things! As for notability, Collins dictionary defines notability as 'the quality of being notable'. If MUNCH is notable to the several hundred annual attendees, the hundred plus people involved in organising and running the event, the thousands of pervious attendees, and the countless others who are in some respect aware of the event, then this event is notable and, as such, has notability. Indeed, it is very notable and should certainly be maintained on these grounds. As for the fact that is summarises MUN; this is correct. However, attendees of MUNCH may not be fully aware of how MUN works and the limited, brief and accurate description of the working of MUN is suitable and acceptable to satisfy this need for information. Further, this page should be maintained as it is useful to many hundreds, if not thousands of people who in some respect are or have been involved in MUNCH and who would look for references about it. Further more, the article is informative and interesting and, as a main organiser of MUNCH and the author of the most recent editing of the page, I can certify that the information is accurate, honest and useful! I would politely suggest that you spend your time on more beneficial activities than trying to delete an article that is inoffensive, accurate and useful! Thank You.
