[edit] Engineers_with_a_Mission
Delete This is a charity/group of missionaries at Baylor university. All google references to them are on the baylor.edu website. Non-notable, perhaps could be merged with Baylor_University. Xyzzyplugh 08:45, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as non-notable organization --TBC

- Keep - Invoking WP:IAR here to protect a verifiable charitable organization. The article should be improved to de-POV it a bit, and to make the connection to Baylor clear. I'm willing to do that. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 11:58, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- This really is a tiny group of people, I think, based on their website. http://www3.baylor.edu/EngineerswithaMission/index.htm It appears that they have sent a few teams of students off to help build water pumps or install lighting in christian schools in Kenya and New Guinea, in conjunction with Baylor(a baptist university)'s charitable/missionary work. The question is whether EVERY charitable group/group of missionaries in the world should qualify for a wikipedia article. There must be a million of them, if you include every muslim, buddhist, etc group. As Baylor does lots of missionary work, trains missionaries (see http://www.baptiststandard.com/2003/5_12/pages/nurse.html), perhaps the content of this article could be retained as part of some sort of overall Baylor Missionary Work article. --Xyzzyplugh 13:04, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- I guess we could just merge; it's reasonable if they really are that tiny Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 16:19, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

- Weak Keep The group is apparently interested in starting new chapters at other college campuses next year, it may become more notable by then. --Schzmo 22:53, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete nn. If they become notable, the article can easily be restarted. Henning Makholm 04:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- Merge --Masssiveego 08:31, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- weak keep as per Bobby Smith.
- Keep, it's a notable organization. It is not tied toa a specific university so it can't be merged. Where (talk) Clarify T1-reduce wikiStrife 00:21, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- Question: what makes them notable? --Xyzzyplugh 15:15, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, just another student organization. We shouldn't be biased toward them just because they do charity work. Friday (talk) 15:05, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
