[edit] CUAS

Campus organizations are not inherently noteable. No relevant Google hits found outside of the Cambridge domain (cam.ac.uk). Delete — Lomn | Talk / RfC 19:58:57, 2005-08-24 (UTC)

• Keep By that logic the set of pages House System at Caltech should also be removed as they refer to organisations that only exist within Caltech. I would also like to point out that CUAS has been around longer than Caltech existed! And there are also non-trivial links referencing CUAS : http://www.winwaed.com/comp/challis/challis_bio.shtml (for example). (unsigned comment by seanbert)

The CalTech example is a single page for the entire university, which puts it in a different context than a page about a single organization. I would have no objection to an equivalent page for Cambridge as a whole. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 21:20:23, 2005-08-24 (UTC)

• Delete. Cambridge University Astronomy Society isn't that notable. I bet this entry is copied straight from the CUSU handbook. David | Talk 20:24, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Having searched Wikipedia's other entires I have found two other Cambridge University societies with entries, Footlights (the comedy society) and the Cambridge Union Society. Both of the student papers also have pages. Bearing this in mind, I feel that it would be inconsistent not to list the astronomy society as well. Alidixon, 21:28 GMT, 24 August 2005.
  • User's third edit.
• Delete. The Footlights and CUS are famous, CUAS is, sadly, not. Oh, wait, bloody hell, it's just a copyvio from the user page [1]. Nominator should have saved VfD the strain and sent it straight to copyvio. Sdedeo 20:32, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable campus organization. Both above keep votes are sockpuppets or brand-spanking new users created for the purpose of defending Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/TINDOMH; see that VfD for more detail. Fernando Rizo T/C 20:33, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Alf I'm happy to have this article. seanbert
• Delete. Although astronomy groups are cool. -Aranel ("Sarah") 22:05, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep (changed from reserved) I have re-written and wiked it up a bit, being edit-conflicted by seanbert in the process, sean are you able to verify the founding date - only one site mentioned it. Alf 22:14, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Notable organization.Amren ^(talk) 01:52, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I'd say nn unless info on their stupendous activities that have affected the field is added. :) --Etacar11 03:09, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable. --GraemeL ^(talk) 10:11, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep The content needs some serious revision though, it sounds like an advert. Perhaps listing the famous alumni would justify its inclusion better? (Unsigned vote by Davemanning (talk · contribs), please add votes to bottom of page) --Etacar11 16:43, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete too many sockpuppets. also not notable. CDC (talk) 18:14, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, nonnotable student society. Shimgray 14:25, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
