[edit] Basic Cable, Tuna Lowers My Inhibitions, 1942 Beacon Street

Non-notable, vanity. We probably should have an article on basic cable as it relates to cable tv, but this isn't it. RickK 05:12, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep this, I'm a Boston College student and 1942 beacon is a junior stronghold. They supply happiness to the rest of the student body. This is far more valuable than even a frat. Keep this one around.
• Delete, pleeeease. Very vanity. FreplySpang (talk) 05:30, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all, not notable, vanity. Megan1967 06:52, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all, a couple of mates and a six-pack doesn't make you encyclopedia material. Master Thief Garrett^Talk 07:36, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect Basic Cable to Cable television. Delete the other two as vanities. Sjakkalle 11:02, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect Basic Cable and bomb the others. It amazes me that freshman humor never changes. Geogre 14:00, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect/delete. per Geogre, et al. Niteowlneils 19:45, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
• keep It would seem there is somewhat of a double standard being applied when a fairly detailed article about princeton's eating societies is permitted, but not this equally venerable fraternal institution, the only one of its kind at Boston College which expressly prohibits fraternities.
• KeepKeep this page, every entering Freshman at Boston College should have a place of reference to learn more about the social scene at their new college, and 1942 is the epicenter of that.
• KEEP it is a work in progress page and it will be fixed and amended to show the true value of this organization
• Keep 1942 Beacon Street. It needs to be improved, no doubt, but it could prove to become a very interesting entry if more of a history of the building could be posted. Paul
• Delete Tuna Lowers My Inhibitions unless one of the creators come up with some more original material and gain some national exposure ;) Paul
• Redirect Basic Cable to Cable television but "keep" the article on the redirected page for a short explanation of the program as well as the specific term "Basic Cable" Paul 12:48, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all except basic cable which should be redirected -- somehow I doubt that Wikipedia was created solely to provide freshmen at Boston College a social calendar... 67.101.113.10 June 01 2005
• KEEP It is a valid page and if fraternities and dining clubs are allowed on, then this entry should be as well. Also, wikipedia is a tool of the masses. It is for everyone to use. Be it geeks who are upset they have no social life, or freshmen at BC. Dont descriminate and be pompous because your college experience was subpar due to the lack of fun you let yourself have.
