[edit] 21 Society

Non-notable club at one college. Tom Harrison Talk 00:57, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete I was thinking that devotion to the ideas of Thomas Jefferson provide grounds for notability, but then I thought "no". It's still a club at one university. AdamBiswanger1 05:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per AdamBiswanger1. --Coredesat 08:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete No evidence of notability Kevin 09:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable; the society does exist, but it seems their only claim to notability was over some small controversy dealing with rewarding new members with 21 bottles of Killian's beer, which hasn't had any major media coverage except by the local school newspaper [1]--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 11:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable. Why would a secret society want to be in Wikipedia anyway? Ted 14:11, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Wikipedia is not paper. Snugspout 14:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
... and not a web host for school clubs either. --Ezeu 20:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Nor is it a floor wax or a dessert topping. More to the point, Wikipedia is not paper, but it is also not the Library of Babel, nor is it an endless and tedious compendium of every bit of trivia and gossip and useless, insignificant "facts". It is an encyclopedia, not a dumping ground. That means we have a duty not to mindlessly compile facts but to present them in a concise and usable manner, making judgments about which facts are important and which are not. - Gamaliel, in some AFD or other. --Calton | Talk 01:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-national collegiate clubs/organizations/groups are not really suitable material for Wikipedia articles in my opinion. Add to that the fact that there is one press release from a campus newspaper as a citation. WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information.--Isotope23 14:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Info on 21 Society can be merged into the University of Virginia article. --Uncle Ed 16:03, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Hardly notable and limited ability to have access to reliable sources.--Auger Martel 16:23, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Verifiable and NPOV / That's good enough for me / Since notability / Is not required by policy. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 20:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete It's just another non-notable club. The article doesn't explain why they're in any way unique, interesting, or important. -- Kicking222 21:33, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unless they send some of the Killian's my way. JChap 01:10, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, EVEN IF they send some of the Killian's my way. --Calton | Talk 01:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Indrian 17:21, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
