[edit] University of Queensland Law Revue
This is essentially a law school musical organization that I believe fails the notability standards for organizations. Although some student-run revues can become notable by, for example, spawning famous comedy troupes (like Second City), not all student-run revues are notable. Please note that there seem to be several similar articles, and I'm pretty sure most law schools, and probably most undergrads, have some sort of similar show. One such article was discussed, with no consensus, here. TheOtherBob 19:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Makes sense to return to primary criteria: no evidence or likelyhood of multiple non-trivial 3rd party mentions. This is not Second City .Obina 19:16, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete maybe mention on University of Queensland, but no notability on its own. --Wildnox(talk) 20:16, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete student groups are presumed non-notable, and without independent sources otherwise, this is non-notable.-- danntm T C 23:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- What modifications could be suggested to retain the page? Removing certain links from other categories or from other pages? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.217.13.220 (talk) 03:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC).
- The subject of the article needs to be notable. If this group has been mentioned in multiple independent reliable sources (usually not including student newspapers), then it would typically be notable - and if there are those sorts of citations to establish notability, that's what the article needs. If there aren't (and I can't find any - that's why I nominated it), then the subject of the article is not notable, and doesn't meet the criteria for inclusion. (I think the question of linking to other articles is separate, and doesn't really affect this AfD, but am glad to discuss separately if you have questions or thoughts.)--TheOtherBob 03:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep On the discussion page for the University of NSW Revues, someone quite rightfully in my opinion argues that notability is subjective. The recent posting of clips from the UQ revue on YouTube has gained the show wide recognition within both the legal and engineering circles in Brisbane, as well as from other Australian universities and student theatre organizations, as is evidenced by multiple bulletin board discussions, independent blogs, links and YouTube viewings. The student university revue tradition in Australia is much more closely connected between different universities than it is in America; this is evidenced by the development of The 3rd Degree which drew from writers and performers from multiple Australian universities, including the University Of Queensland. The page has now been written objectively, has had links removed from unnecessary pages, and is an objective statement of a show that does not necessarily have the worldwide reputation of Second City but is nonetheless recognizable and has a reputation within the Australian student comedy circuit - a valid category listing on Wikipedia - as much as any of the other Australian university revue pages on here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.102.42.97 (talk) 04:13, 4 January 2007 (UTC).
