[edit] Notability concerns

This article has no references, and no indication of notability. An attempt was made to delete it via {{prod}}, but the tag was deleted by an anonymous editor. Just as a heads-up, if references are not provided soon, it is going to be sent to AfD, for a formal deletion discussion. To avoid this, please provide reliable third-party references which show that this organization is notable outside of its local area. It might also be a good idea to merge/copy the information about this group, and all the other student groups in {{NUS}}, to Wikia, which welcomes non-encyclopedic content. Please see The Australia Wikia. --Elonka 20:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Sigh. I see that you've found a new deletion fetish. This student association - as with many others - has a long and notable history, and has produced a significant number of notable people. Rest assured that any attempts to delete it - or to pull this stunt on other such articles - will be as vigorously resisted as your past attempts at disruption. I'd also point out that, unlike the couple of successes last time around, you will have zero success this time - as you can see from the external links sections of several of the articles you hit, sources in major newspapers abound for student organisations like this. Whether you choose to waste your time and ours is your own choice, but you won't get a single article deleted. Rebecca 05:17, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I beg your pardon? This article has been tagged since 2006-12-12 as failing to cite proper references and you're getting snotty about it? All that has changed since then is the addition of further unsourced lists of names and the updating—unsourced again—of the "current situation". Seems to me that you'd be better providing proper references for an article which in its current state any admin could speedy with a clear conscience. If "sources in major newspapers abound for student organisations like this", why haven't you added some? HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 16:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, please. There are hundreds of thousands of unreferenced articles on Wikipedia, the vast majority of which the notability is not seriously in dispute. This is not an exception. It hasn't got referenced because no one has gotten around to it, not because people have tried and failed. As for the speedy deletion claim - as much as people like Elonka have tried, you are not allowed to speedy delete articles because they are unreferenced and you want to.
