[edit] Delta Iota Epsilon

Delta Iota Epsilon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Recreated after a couple of speedy deletions, this fraternity exists only at one college, has 57 Google hits, many of which are false returns. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 20:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - no indication of notability. JohnCD (talk) 20:43, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - as per JohnCD. Napsterbater (talk) 21:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as previously deleted and still nn. MSJapan (talk) 21:02, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete the article does not assert notability except in reference to other fraternities, which are a subset of social organizations. Thus, the claim that their social organization is different in that it is based on friendship and acceptance is not notable. Lazulilasher (talk) 22:06, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. As someone who didn't go to university in the USA I really don't get the whole point of this "fraternity" stuff. What the idea? Is it just that a few guys who lack the social skills to get girlfriends choose a few random Greek letters to try to make themselves look important? That's how it looks to me.

  • Procedurally extend AfD for 2 days, 14 hours, and 8 minutes to 10:15, 22 May 2008 due to AfD notice being removed on 14:16, 15 May 2008 by 65.246.68.2 and restored on 02:24, 18 May 2008 by Davidwr. Keep an eye on the article folks, make sure the AfD notice doesn't get taken down again. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 02:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete geesh this thing should've been SPEEDIED for lack of a reference. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 02:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
    • It never occured to me to check if the frat was university-approved, good catch. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 17:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • COMMENT The 2 prior deletions were from this month, so temporarily WP:SALT for 30 days to prevent re-creation. Oh, and people, keep this in your watch-list through the beginning of the fall semester. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 02:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
