[edit] Reading University Students' Union

Reading University Students' Union (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unfortunatly, like many of the UK Students' Union pages, this article just doesn't assert notability at all. It reads like an advert, cites no sources whatsoever, and provides no external links to prove notability. I've previously nominated this for speedy, and then it went into Prod - that was a mistake on my part, it should have had a discussion. So here it is. _TheIslander 17:00, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete I don't see any reason to suspect notability will be supported. MarkinBoston 17:44, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

• Merge with the university, as they aren't that notable for their proper article.--JForget 23:02, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per lack of notability Corpx 04:38, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
• Comment No vote for now but see my comments on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Durham University Athletic Union about the need to get a clear guideline covering this. Timrollpickering 21:46, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep i think the main student organisation at any major universty has been consistently held to be notable, and we thus do have a de facto guideline. They always are a major factor in the life of the university.DGG (talk) 00:52, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

• Student governments may claim notability, but in my experience, they really have no real notability outside the SG itself Corpx 05:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete The article seems to fail WP:ORG. While references have recently been provided, most of them originate from the Union's website, and the remaining ones don't provide proof of notability. --Bfigura ^(talk) 20:05, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
