[edit] Alpha Kappa Pi

Fraternity organization that just started at one college? Seems non-notable. --Mysidia (talk) 00:55, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete A search for "Universidad Central del Este" "Alpha Kappa Pi" turned up nothing. Plus, we don't even have an article on the university in DR (although we do have a stub on the one in Puerto Rico). Acetic'^Acid 04:17, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  • You didn't search for "Alfa Kappa Pi", as spelled in the first occurence in the article. It appears to me that the referenced fraternity is the first item on the Google list when you search that way. Unfocused 02:14, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. As per nomination.  freshgavinΓΛĿЌ  04:59, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Alpha_Sigma_Phi. There was a fraternity by the name of Alpha Kappa Pi which merged with Alpha Sigma Phi in 1946. See [1] and the Alpha Sigma Phi article itself. That fact is far more notable than a one-chapter fraternity in the Dominican Republic. - Sensor 22:39, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect. Per Sensor. Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde 18:37, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
• Dab if the Dominican Rep. frat can be shown to exist, else Redir. Rich Farmbrough 22:25, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, cleanup and expand. This is not a part of Alpha Sigma Phi, see www.alfakappapi.com. I can't imagine any good reason to delete this stub, and doing so will alienate the new contributor who created this. Unfocused 02:10, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Then the title of the article should be changed to Alfa Kappa Phi since it is only located in a Spanish-speaking country and there's no need to transliterate f->ph. Do a redirect of Alpha Kappa Pi to Alfa Kappa Pi. Their site makes it seem that the fraternity is notable enough to keep.
• Comment Correct spelling of article ("Alfa Kappa Pi") only turns up 104 hits on Google. If their website is all they have to represent themselves, chances are they are not notable. Acetic'^Acid 03:34, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keeping in mind that it's in the Dominican Republic and not in English, I wouldn't expect many Google hits in the first place. Unfocused 04:35, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
    • But this is an English Encyclopedia. It's only common sense that we would use English sources to research our topics. Acetic'^Acid 05:22, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
      • We don't stop our coverage at the borders of countries where English is the primary language, even when sources are more difficult to find. See Masjid e Tooba and Wazir Mansion for examples of clearly important non-English topics where sources are notoriously difficult to source on the internet in English. Unfocused 06:08, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
        • However, Masjid e Tooba gets 964 Google hits and Wazir Mansion gets 1200 (1140 if you include the word 'Karachi'). Much higher than Alfa's 100 hits. Acetic'^Acid 06:15, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
