[edit] Monash University Malaysia Students Association

Monash University Malaysia Students Association (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A non-notable student's association, citing no independent sources with lots of OR for good measure. → AA (talk) — 13:58, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:ORG and nom -- no third-party sources. -David Schaich Talk/Cont 18:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This appears to be the peak studet association for a university in Malaysia. I would think that in most cases these bodies would be able to assert notability. That said, large chunks of the article are largely lifted from here. -- Mattinbgn\talk 20:17, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment: I believe there is general consensus that student organizations at particular schools or universities are generally not notable. This follows from the WP:ORG guidelines on "organizations whose activities are local in scope". I should have mentioned this in my comments above. -David Schaich Talk/Cont 20:49, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. This article's title refers to Malaysian students but this is about a students association for a campus of Monash University. No sources are given for the article. I would be inclined to keep if the article was properly named and the article was sourced. Capitalistroadster 03:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Comment The title refers to the Student Association of Monash University Malaysia (note "Malaysia" not "Malaysian"). Would a move to Monash University Student Association (Malaysia) be less ambiguous? -- Mattinbgn\talk 03:16, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
If notability can be established per WP:ORG, then that would be more appropriate. However, a local student's union must show sufficient secondary sources to establish notability. → AA (talk) — 11:00, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Of course it would. However Capitalistroadster commented about an poor article name and my comment related to that. -- Mattinbgn\talk 22:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, WP:ORG and for OR. If there is anything of value, it can be merged back into the school article. However in no case should this be kept. Vegaswikian 21:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
