[edit] California College Republicans

Delete. Advertising and vanity. There's nothing here but their constitution and some vanity pics. We should have College Republicans and College Democrats articles, of course, but do we really need one for each state? What does this tell us that makes it different from, say, Rhode Island College Republicans? Gamaliel 04:56, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. This article neither forcefully promotes the club in an advertising capacity, nor would it qualify under the claim of vanity (the definition of which being: excessive pride in one's appearance or accomplishment). This page neither brags nor boasts of CCR's accomplishments, nor offers ANY side of opinions, therefore unbiased. CCR is an important faces of College Republicans that played an important role in the most recent CRNC election process, the main contender for the Chair position of which being from our state, and CCR's past Chairman (Michael Davidson). The pictures posted could only be misconstrued as vain if Frank Sinatra's mug shot could be considered a photo shoot. Portraits are an efficient way to illustrate the organization's leadership, just like Howard Dean's page shows, as does George W. Bush's page does. California College Republicans is a state federation that is on the forefront of the College Republican national organization; as is such, and what with the dealings of CCR's in the national College Republican playing feild, the California College Republican wiki-site has total justification for its existence.

• Vanity has a specific meaning in the context of these discussions. See Wikipedia:Vanity. Gamaliel 05:23, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, from the content of the article it looks like Wikipedia is hosting this organisations website.--nixie 05:14, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and rewrite. This organization appears to be active at several dozen universities (per the list on their website) and thus could be considered notable. However, the current article isn't particularly informative and the constitution is useless to someone outside of the organization. - Thatdog 05:28, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Political vanity. Inclusion of that mug shot in an article about an organization implies quite a bit about the motivation of its author, so I think "vanity" is a fair description. --Calton | Talk 06:35, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, most college clubs are not notable. Dcarrano 07:39, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non notable self promotion. JamesBurns 09:56, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I'd say merge into College Republicans, which rightly has an article, but there's no significant info here. This is vanity in both the Wikipedia sense and the general sense, especially given the mugshot currently in the article and the candid photos that were in it previously.

• Delete unless there is some information that isn't implied by "California", "College", and "Republican" separately. Peter Grey 19:30, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete this article is non notable self promotion. it is of no significance whatsoever. --jonasaurus 21:07, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, is 3760 Google hits for "California College Republicans" not good enough for us? It does have an ad-like tone to it, and that picture's gotta go, but that's a task for cleanup, not deletion. Did noone look this up on Google yet? -Splash 01:18, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Maine College Republicans has come up on VfD too, and that one has a decent article. Oklahoma College Republicans has recently been created as well. I'm a Democrat, but I dont see much reason to delete these articles. EvilPhoenix talk 05:44, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, far too localized. Vanity. Radiant_>|< 08:44, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. This local chapter of a notable national organization isn't encyclopedically notable on its own. Quale 18:37, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
