[edit] Eating club

If Dining club is considered notable in the discussion down the page, then maybe this article could be merged into it or vice versa. If the discussion establishes that it doesn't warrant an article then maybe this should be deleted too. Hammer1980·talk 19:34, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Even if this is legit, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Wryspy 21:04, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Even this small and young article is already much more than a dictionary entry. Wikipedia is exactly where I'd look up an unfamiliar American term like this, which incidentally I don't seems to find in any online dictionaries, including OED, or the paper ones I have here.

  • Keep. Mentioned in biographies of Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, etc. I'm sure lots of good cites could be found with a bit of work. Appears to be notable by itself, or merge with Dining club. Bearian'sBooties 04:36, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Even though I agree with Wryspy that Wikipedia shouldn't try to emulate a dictionary, I don't really see how that is relevant to this particular article. Coccyx Bloccyx 23:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable in a number of universities, probably beyond the one listed here. Certainly relevant in American society. DGG (talk) 20:26, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
