[edit] Upsilon phi delta

By its own admission, this is a local sorority started in 1993. Generally, local organizations aren't kept without some claim to notability, of which I see little. Maybe merge to parent organization, if there is one, but I am not sure what content is worth it. Xoloz 19:53, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

• Merge some of this to Ursinus College, which could use some more text. -- JJay 20:31, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete content would stick out awkwardly on the Ursinus College article. The sororities listed here are by contrast major organizations. Endomion 23:10, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

• This is a local sorority for this College. Isn't that more important than the major organizations? -- JJay 23:28, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Imagine a five-paragraph article for a high school, with a sixth paragraph just about the chess club at that school. That's what I mean by sticking out. Endomion 02:03, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

We have lots of articles like that. -- JJay 02:14, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Are you advocating two wrongs make a right? --Apostrophe 05:22, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm advocating saving some information on this very important group of Ursinus College scholars. -- JJay 05:49, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

"very important"? Your comment above doesn't quite support the position of "saving some information", either way. --Apostrophe 01:52, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I have no real stake in this discussion, but I do find "very important group of... scholars" to be a questionable characterization. The article gives no evidence they are of scholarly note. Xoloz 17:01, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

All students are scholars. What else would they be doing at college? -- JJay 21:02, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

LOL :) That was ironic, right? ;) Xoloz 01:50, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
