nn student union. almost every university in the world has one or another, and is non notable. Schools themselves may be notable, but not student unions. In aprticular, this article has nearly no association of notability other than a listing of student run bars. ⇒ SWATJester Denny Crane. 05:08, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete NN union; nothing special, and very non-notable. Jmlk17 06:25, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a student union at a relatively new UK university, but its student union is still likely to have sources that makes it notable like other student unions in UK. It should be improved not deleted. --Bduke 11:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • comment Having looked several student union articles ave been nominated AfD, should these not be grouped? --Nate1481( t/c) 11:57, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Seems like they should have. Very, very little variation in the nominations, and nearly all the responses seem universally applicable. MrZaiustalk 21:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and improve Students' unions in the UK are de facto separate bodies from the university and notable, especially locally, for actions and activities. Timrollpickering 12:18, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:N: No claim of notability whatsoever. WP:DIR: Wikipedia is not a student union catalogue--Victor falk 13:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge Suggest incorporating the useful information into University of Chichester, e.g. bar details into campus sections, and some record of UCSU. Doesn't warrant an article in its own right. Tafkam 15:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - local interest does not equate to notable; this is of no worth to the readership at large. Have you thought of a blog site to talk about your student union? How many people do you think would read it? Your answers will also help you understand why it is not notable for an article. --Storm Rider (talk) 23:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete This union is not inherently notable, so it requires "significant coverage from independent sources", which it lacks Corpx 05:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The main student union in a UK university is notable, and plays a role in governance. DGG (talk) 07:21, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No sourced case for note, and I don't grok the case for the organization being inherently notable absent secondary and tertiary sources. If a thoroughly sourced Note case can be made, I'll be happy to switch. All that matters is meeting WP:ORG - no separate standard necessary. Additionally, note that the sole source used in the article is a myspace page and there are absolutely zero Google news archive hits for the article's name - Somewhat doubtful a strong note case can be made.
