The result was delete. The only explicit "keep" vote is just an assertion of notability. The comments by Rudyryan has some more merit to it (except the allegation that the nomination is "malicious"). The question is whether the article passes the WP:CLUB guideline. Rudyryan makes a reasonable case that the first criterion is met (national scale), but my review of the references given in the article revealed that none of them give independent or secondary coverage of the fraternity. Some of them, such as [1] make no mention of the fraternity at all. Thus, the second criterion, which is in most cases important to ensure WP:V and WP:NPOV as well as notability, does not seem to be met. So, I am closing this as a "delete". Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This has already been deleted, multiple times, in fact I requested it be speedy deleted as a recreation of deleted material myself, the article was deleted as such then, and we're back here now. I'm asking that this time it, and all the other names that this has been created as (an admin would have to look at the creator's deleted contribs to find them) be salted. This is spam, the organization isn't notable, and this is really, really getting tiring. Sven Manguard Wha? 07:19, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a local fraternity at the University of California, Santa Barbara and is obviously not "spam" and the organization is notable it has been established since 1993 and is the first multicultural fraternity on the campus of UCSB obviously a huge improvement for the campus. This page should not be salted. "Sven Manguard" is being malicious when trying to delete the article, it may need improvements, but it doesn't need to be deleted. The reason it was deleted before was because of copyright infringements and it is back up because the proper copyrights were given and can be seen on the organizations website. It is largely notable just like any other multicultural greek organization such as Nu Alpha Kappa, Chi Delta Theta, etc., all of which have articles on wikipedia so they are obviously notable enough to be on wikipedia.Rudyryan (talk) 07:51, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think salting and deleting this is a little extreme, it should be improved obviously it needs a little editing to provide a neutral stand point. I just dont see how this page isn't notable and or how it's spam. It isn't eligible for speedy deletion because theres nothing that makes this page a violation of wikipedia policy other than the need for editing to become nuetral and unbiased. and the content is verifiable. It should definitely not be deleted but be edited. GodzillaKilla (talk) 08:10, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But thats where you are wrong. The organization does pass these requirements: the scope of the organization is national and the fraternity is currently expanding and more chapters will be around in the near future; also the information about the organization can be found all ove the internet. If you check the references you'll see that you can find information concerning this organization on UCSB sites and various other sites. Dont assume that they organization doesnt fulfill the requirements for such organizations because of you do just the tiniest of a fraction of research or just looking through the entirety of this page you'll see theres no reason why this page should be deleted.
