[edit] Oxford University Engineering Society

Oxford University Engineering Society (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

No claim of notability for this campus society. Speedy declined, citing WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. OK, it is Oxford, but I still don't think it's notable. Jfire (talk) 18:02, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete possibly some such societies can be notable at universities like Oxford, but there is nothing here at all to show it. Nor is there anything much on the web site to write an adequate article from.DGG (talk) 22:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. As an Oxford graduate, I entirely agree with DGG. There are lots of Oxford Societies that are notable, but this is not one of them from the evidence before us. If it is notable, someone can start again. --Bduke (talk) 10:07, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Reads like an advertisement not an article. I would expect an article to demonstrate notability e.g. by showing how former members used the society for key steps in their career. More likely with dramatic, musical and literary societies than one such as this.--Peter cohen (talk) 21:49, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete not a particularly old society, not a first of..., not one who have had a string of notables chair/preside. Sorry can't think of a reason to keep this.--Alf melmac 14:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
