[edit] Queer Alliance

Individual clubs at small colleges are not notable; there can't possibly be an article's worth of encyclopedic knowledge on this or most any other college club out there. CheNuevara 22:54, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

• keep is notable, first such club in the country, nationally copied program even at UniversitiesGuaguis 22:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
  • If there is any actual support for the claim that it was the first Community College GSA, it might be notable. When was it founded? that's not even covered in the article. - CheNuevara 23:10, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
    • it was founded in the early 70s 1973 i thinkCholga 18:56, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Again, please support that. - CheNuevara 19:55, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
        • It is a matter of arithmetic. The article says 15 years old. This means 1991, which is rather different from 'the 1970s'. Since the Gay Liberation Front is a 1960s organisation it is improbable that Queer Alliance is the oldest queer alliance, but it is possible, I suppose. Fiddle Faddle 20:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
          • There isn't even any support for the "15 years" claim. Although the "oldest" claim seems to be the "oldest GSA at a community college". Like I said, if that's true (which I would really love to see evidence for) it might make it notable. Until evidence for that surfaces, school clubs don't get to advertise on the 'pedia. - CheNuevara 20:18, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
            • Not disagreeing with you. The point I was making was the improbability, community college or no. I've tried and I can't find any source other than the article itself for the timing. Fiddle Faddle 20:32, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete. Given that it's only been around for 15 years I have a hard time believing that it's the first in the country. If you can reference that it was the first, I would support a keep, but for now it's NN, unverifiable and stinks of self-promotion. Irongargoyle 23:31, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete after merging anything relevant into City College of San Francisco (whose opening paragraph sounds like a vacation brochure). No notability has been asserted in a cited manner in the article. In addition the article contains a lot of electioneering and non enclylopaedic "stuff" which was deleted and has been replaced. I'm not sure whether it is in WP:NOT or not, but Wikipedia is not an election platform. To be clear, there is no hideden agenda here. I don't care whether this is a gay or a str8 organisation, I care solely about article quality. This one does not cut it. Fiddle Faddle 07:42, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - as a college club simply not notable. BlueValour 02:37, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
