[edit] Michigan Federation of College Republicans

• Keep Other statewide youth political organizations from the United States have articles as stated below. Also, foreign political youth organizations on the state level such as the Western Australian Young Liberals have pages. I think the reason some are attacking this article is for political reasons as no left of center groups have been challenged. User:RyanofCumbria

This being Wikipedia, there's a simple solution to that: you could, I dunno, do something about it yourself. Don't whine: click here, follow the instructions, and take some responsibility -- or were you waiting for the government to do something about it? --Calton | Talk 01:31, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

This is the only state federation of the College Republicans that has an article. Violates WP:ORG and comes off as an ad. Burgwerworldz 05:40, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

WP:ORG is only a proposed policy; it has yet to gain consensus. Further, these are not individual chapters of an organization, but instead statewide groups of them. Also, you're wrong when you say this is the only state federation of College Republicans that has an article: Illinois_College_Republican_Federation. Also, when you consider statewide groups of college political parties, we have: College_Democrats_of_New_York, California_College_Democrats, and Tennessee_Federation_of_College_Democrats amongst others; not to mention also for Michigan there exists Michigan_Federation_of_College_Democrats, which hasn't been nominated for deletion.

• Merge and/or redirect to College Republican National Committee--TBCTaLk?!? 06:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to College Republicans and/or College Republican National Committee. --Coredesat talk 07:04, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment No merge, just redirect. --Coredesat talk 10:44, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The College Republicans or College Republican National Committee articles will quickly become too large if statewide organization information is merged into them. We would look to split the information back out of those articles if 50 states' information were incorporated. Notable as statewide federations of non-notable individual chapters.

• Delete as I concur with Ryanminier's assertation that the College Republicans or College Republican National Committee articles would become extremely bloated if this were merged and subsequently other state chapters were added. I disagree however that the statewide federations are notable as organizations (and for the record I feel the same is true of the parallel democratic organization in MI if anyone brings that to AfD).--Isotope23 13:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete All of the information on this page can be just two-three clicks away using the state listing in College Republican National Committee, which is a better place to have it. The state list is already in place, and many of them already have external links associated with them. Instead, this looks like pure vanity. When this is deleted, then we can go through and do similar things for similar articles (Republican, Democratic, and whatever other parties have this structure). They are simply not notable enough.

• Delete. Check out Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/California College Republicans for a previous debate. And if there are other statewide student groups still around, there's a simple solution to that: click here and follow the instructions. --Calton | Talk 01:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I guess statewide is worth keeping. --JJay 01:57, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per TedE and Calton. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maine College Republicans and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oklahoma College Republicans, both of which also resulted in deletes. --Metropolitan90 03:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete as above. If there are other articles deleted this one should not be spared. An56 04:49, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
