[edit] Hull University Union

• Delete Student organization in regional university. Much more information available in main university page. Prod was removed by user:JJay--Porturology 02:52, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Good start to the article and I can't see why Hull is any less important than the 32 articles in Category:English students' unions. -- JJay 03:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, college clubs aren't encyclopedic. Royboycrashfan 03:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as unencyclopaedic. --Terence Ong 03:31, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Deckiller 03:59, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, as it is as notable as the other English students' unions, and the article is well-sourced. If this one should be deleted, all of the other articles in its category should be deleted as well. Carioca 04:41, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as non-notable group. No claim to notability that I can discern. The extent of what the article claims is that the Union exists, and perhaps that it is attached to something notable. Shall I write an article on Angelina Jolie's left arm? Makemi 04:51, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

• Why not? We already have 28 lines on her tattoos. Though I'd probably start with other parts of her anatomy. -- JJay 17:50, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I don't see how "student organization in regional university" is a deletion argument, unless the organisation is really insignificant. But give their webmaster a few minus points for not making the webpage look decent in Firefox.u p p l a n d 05:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Carioca, who makes a good point. dbtfz^talk 08:46, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Uppland. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 14:59, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, (all 32 should be deleted unless notable!)—Preceding unsigned comment added by JimmyO (talk • contribs) 17:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)- Note account created today. -- JJay 17:31, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect because although it's fair to have somehting here as a likely search term, this article adds nothign to the sum of human knowledge. What's here applies to pretty much any student union at a decent-sized British university - they all have sabbatical officers and so on. This really is a non-article right now. Just zis Guy you know? 21:07, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This article needs to be improved rather than deleted. Student unions, which all students belong to, are legally separate from the university and they are notable. If Schools are notable, the much larger student unions certainly are. When one article in a category does not yet meet the excellence criteria of the others, real efforts should be made to get others to improve it or improve it yourself, rather than just jumping to deletion. --Bduke 21:40, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Bduke. This isn't just a college club, it's membership is the entire 16,000 students of a medium-sized university. Green Giant 00:40, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. There are other student associations with similar membership numbers with articles --Midnighttonight 02:43, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn -- Alpha269 16:08, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and Redirect to University of Hull page JohnRussell 04:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. per Carioca and has potential for HUU-specific information MartinMcCann 20:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep, I'd rather like to see an expansion. Also, are we sure that that name is correct? Stifle 09:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
