[edit] Transhumanist Student Network

Delete. Prod was "no assertion of significance other than membership in the association". Nor I don't think is there any significance based on the research I performed. Deprod was "notable association, >1000 non-wikipedia ghits". There are actually only 177 unique Google hits for "Transhumanist Student Network" -wikipedia, and most of them are not very high quality. A lot of them seem to be semi-identical mirrors of each other on different sites. It's simply not notable. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 21:54, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge any useful content into World Transhumanist Association. If you go to the official website, it's just a page on the World Transhumanist Association's website. There's no indication of a reason for it to have its own page. BigDT 01:06, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Is that "Delete and Redirect" or "Merge and Rredirect"? - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 20:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
• Retain--Neurobionetics Petition to retain this Wiki page:
  • A separate TSN website is under development. The TSN is a semi-autonomous organization with a committed cadre of volunteer activists (transnationally based, I might add - this is a global organization that is starting to build infrastructure at the regional and national levels). At this early stage, we have six affiliates, one non-affiliated allied group, and 14 chapters-in-development. We are creating plans to become bigger and more influential than we have been up to this point. Additionally, we have outreach branches in various social networking systems, one of which (an organizational MySpace profile) has become sizable with over 1,000 "friend" supporters. I can update and expand information presented on this page if i am given some assurance it is not about to be deleted. Best, TSN Transnational Organizer Ben Hyink 06:55, 8 June 2006 (CST)
    • Hello Ben. Did you create this article as we all as Ben Hyink? - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 03:33, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Hello. Yes, I did write that article, which appears to have already been deleted (at least it is inaccessibe to general users). I felt there was no reason not to write it at the time, but given that Wiki is now trying to economize space I am comfortable seeing it deleted. If I had been focusing on academic work the last year I might have something significant published to my name, but instead I have invested most of my time and energy in fully establishing the TSN. I think the TSN does have significant potential to grow once a few more resources (like a separate website) are established. As I mentioned, we managed to get a fairly large number of "friends" for our MySpace profile within the first two weeks of its existence: [MySpace Profile] <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=80528137">TSN MySpace Profile</a>. - User:Neurobionetics talk/contribs/email 22:00, 9 June 2006 (CST)
