[edit] Delta Upsilon (Lambda Iota Chapter)

Delta Upsilon (Lambda Iota Chapter) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable chapter of a notable national organization. All the claims of notability relate to the house and not the chapter. Even those claims are weak; is the house really notable because it's on the street that inspired Nightmare on Elm Street? Still, that doesn't demonstrate any notability for the chapter. —C.Fred (talk) 23:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:ORG. Since the article pertains to the organization, I don't think the unsubstantiated claims of their house inspiring Nightmare on Elm Street really help prove notability of the fraternity. (ie, I don't think the fraternity would inherit notability from the movie by virtue of their house, even if the link was documented by a WP:RS.) --Bfigura ^(talk) 23:41, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The notablitly claim that was deemed unsubstantiated is referenced at http://www.potsdam.ny.us/history.html, and is otherwise in a trivia section, not the main body of the article. The longevity and size of the organization are notable, per WP:ORG. That it was a long-lived independent organization before being a chapter of Delta Upsilon also makes it notable for inclusion. 128.153.221.46 19:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

• Comment As now reflected on the article page, the source listed only claims that the Movie found inspiration from a student film, not that the student film featured the house in question. Also, please note that in order to pass WP:ORG, the organization needs to be documented (ie, the subject of, not mentioned in passing) by reliable secondary sources. This isn't done in the article. --Bfigura ^(talk) 19:44, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete every frat/sorority will have some kind of interesting story, but I do not think we should be having articles for each campus chapter Corpx 00:03, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - no real claim of notability. -- Roleplayer 23:58, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
