- Delete per nom, perceived importance by person who removed the prod is not reflected in any articles or references. Currently just a university club without much outside influence Fram 12:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Please refer to http://www.upenn.edu/pip/?pip=artclub, in relation to the significance of the club for Penn and for broader society. This reference, which was one the front page of Penn's website for over three months, reflects the importance of the club and the movement it has the potential to start among college campuses throughout the country. The club demonstrates that college students need not take art classes to be artists in college. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.123.191.101 (talk • contribs) — 165.123.191.101 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Reply: this is the article in whch the club presents itself. That it was linked from the homepage of the University isn't strange at all and does not indicate anything but that the club exists (which no one doubted). We have no outside articles about the club, and the potential it has is a case of WP:NOT a crystal ball. When some national publication comments that the current revival of art by non-artists started in Penn Art Club, you can restart the article. Until then, it is not important enough to include in this encyclopedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fram (talk • contribs)
- The story about the Penn Art Club was not simply a link to the site, it was a featured story. While the story about Penn Art Club was featured, other--equally as significant--stories ran: such as discoveries in blot clott physiology, uncovering of ancient tombs in Egypt, new initiatives of the University, abd breakthrough research on the relation of the brain to the eye. "Doesn't indicate anything but that the club exists"--every club is linked to on the clubs page, but no other had a story on the front page. Penn Art Club embodies a novel movement, an intellectual progression towards academic freedom in the sense that, indeed, universities not only produce knowledge and truth, but also contribute to the health of democracy. As Paul Lazarsfeld would note, this article is an example of a solution to a fundamental "ill-structured" problem in colleges across the country.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.123.191.101 (talk • contribs) — 165.123.191.101 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- I agree with the above post, I read the wikipedia article and think its highly relevant and germane to the issues discussed in the above comment. This article should stay.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.123.191.101 (talk • contribs) — 165.123.191.101 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- The editor who made the reply about the Penn Art Club article, and the next one who "agrees with the above post", have the same IP, 165.123.191.101. Does agreeing with yourself also contribute to the "health of democracy"? Fram 08:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
