  • Delete. After removing fluff hits from my search, all hits say exactly the same thing. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 00:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, Google hits are not proof of notability. Provide reliable sources which explain how this is any more notable than any other campus student support organization. Corvus cornixtalk 00:35, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I've added the QRC to wikipedia because I think it's important for prospective students to be able to see the sort of resources available for them at schools. The QRC is a large presence on campus and positively affects the lives of many students. It also has a substantial operating budget, something I also feel is indicative of its importance. There are certainly a lot of other, much more marginal groups on our campus that have wiki pages - this one comes to mind : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomona_college_organic_farm.

But if you decide it's not notable enough I'll respect your decision of course. If you do, can anyone suggest what sort of places I could put it? I added it so that anyone looking at the claremont colleges could see what was available for them on campus. It seems like a shame that it needs to be notable on a global level to be included. I wish I could have read about places like the QRC when I was looking at schools. Doesn't wikipedia have unlimited space?

If I added a brief description of the QRC to the main page for the claremont consortium and/or Pomona college is that something that would also be stricken from wikipedia? Ramsayem (talk) 10:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

  • A brief description with a link to their web page would be fine. Corvus cornixtalk 16:46, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The subject is not notable to have an article in Wikipedia. Get your own blog/webpage, please. Not here. Dekisugi (talk) 10:43, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:ORG and other delete recommendations. The editor who created the article may wish to consider moving the article to the Students Wikia instead. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 10:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Such student organisations are notable only if they are involved in a significant way in major newsworthy events--thisdoes happen, but not very often. Northing is claimed here that might be notable. DGG (talk) 11:58, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
