[edit] College Intelligence Agency

College Intelligence Agency (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The article seems to describe a non-notable college organisation. At Talk:College Intelligence Agency it is asserted that "The group being examined in this article is part of a greater study of Student Organisations at the University of Sydney. It would be appreciated if administrators would allow time for the rest of the article to be compiled. This group is notable within the Sydney community." This seems to be using Wikipedia as part of a project, and to not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. The author has asserted ownership of the page at User talk:Notinasnaid#Stop editing Handy Pack's pages. I feel I should mention I have been issued a vandalism warning for this page. Another editor has asserted that "The intro to this article appears to be copied from the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) page" and "I found no such article in the Sydney Morning Herald archives." in reference to a citation.

  • Delete Delete per reasons quoted above. An online archive of the Sydney Morning Herald is available at: http://newsstore.smh.com.au/apps/newsSearch.ac?/index.html which goes back to 1990. I noticed the citation was not formatted correctly and in the attempts to fix it, I was unable to find any reference to the article. Further more, searching for "College-Intelligence-Agency" on Google returns now only 1 result, it had returned 0 when I first tried it a earlier, which is a little to a wikipedia linking to the output of a bot that links to the page in question.

  • Delete reeks of hoax, and if it does exist it's so secret that the world in general hasn't heard of it, making it outside our scope anwyay. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:15, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete either a hoax or it's not notable. Whichever it is is doesn't merit inclusion here. Hut 8.5 17:31, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as not indicating notability. If reliable sources can be found, the organisation can be mentioned in the Student life section of the College's article. EALacey 21:10, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • DO NOT DELETEthe sectretive organisation is real and well-known amongst alumni. I have tried to clean up the article to address and plagarism from CIA page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Offshoreholdingco (talk • contribs) 03:08, 10 May 2007 (UTC).
