[edit] Notability

Hello editors of this article,

I understand that a lot of work has been done on this article since last September. However, the page is still failing the criterion for notability in Wikipedia. The notability guidelines for organizations state as the primary criterion:

"A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of secondary sources."

That is, you must show that others have written about your society. Currently, all the external links refer to content generated by yourself.

Please add references to secondary sources. These could be newspaper articles about your society, or books in which Delta Theta Sigma is mentioned, or other sources, as long as they are reliable and independent. I am sure these sources exist; but only you can add them.

I am resetting the "date counter" for notability for now. But please: add sources to the article. Otherwise it might be nominated for deletion again, like in last September.

[edit] Primary vs. secondary sources

Hello,

I have changed the tags on the article a bit. Source are now cited. But there's still something missing, namely independent sources. You might want to read Wikipedia:Independent sources for details. Currently, you largely cite your organization's own homepage. To establish notability, you should also cite what others write about you. Press coverage, for example, is a good option. Be aware that all these source must be reliable (some people like citing blogs, personal webpages, etc., but these are not considered reliable because anybody can edit them).

Happy editing, --B. Wolterding 16:24, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
