The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Sorority Life, as the least bad solution. The disambiguation page can not exist with only one link to a topic that qualifies to be on a disambiguation page. The sole "keep" vote in the discussion is premised on the sole legitimate use, and would suffice if this were an RfD, but has no basis in policy for keeping as a disambiguation page. No prejudice against recreation if multiple articles on entities by this name, or describing entities by this name, are created in the future. BD2412 T 06:12, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

dab page for a red link (which I can't find an AFD for) and a redirect that isn't currently mentioned on the University page it redirects to. Most of the hits for "Delta Xi Omega" online appear to be for an Alpha Kappa Alpha *chapter* called Delta Xi Omega. Naraht (talk) 14:25, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete It does seem to exist, hits for a fraternity in some places and a sorority in others. It is a redlink in Sorority Life which probably accounts for the UB link in the dab. Not really covered anywhere in WP, so delete is probably better than a redirect. MB 14:41, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It existed; it was a local sorority founded at UB in 1988; it was featured on MTV's Sorority Life season 2 in 2002; it was disbanded by the school in approximately 2008. I contributed to the original post because I find value, but otherwise I don't have much to justify Keep. As far as I know, there is no article to accurately redirect to which provides information about the sorority. "Delta Xi Omega". whiterox 1:46, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

• Comment whiterox not doubting that it existed. I've created and improved pages on national fraternities and sororities that no longer exist.

• • Delta Xi Omega at UB is no longer recognized and according to https://www.buffalo.edu/studentlife/life-on-campus/clubs-and-activities/search/fraternity-and-sorority-life.html it appears that it merged(?) with Alpha Sigma Alpha's UB chapter and is a non-recognized group called Zeta Phi.
  • Delta Xi Omega at Faulkner , I'm still trying to figure out why it was mentioned at Wikipedia at *all* even as a redirect other than possibly a list of Faulkner's local clubs (The school has no national GLOs)
  • As for the deltaxiomega.org website, I can't even tell what group it is for. The website has an image for a coat of arms(?) and *nothing* else.Naraht (talk) 13:04, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: This is complicated, and more input would be helpful

• A strange case. There is a Delta Xi Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha in Salisbury, North Carolina, that doesn't seem like it is a college organization but more a women's fraternal org. The website with just a crest, per Internet Archive, used to be the domain for the sorority at UB, and an archived History page has that same crest ([1]). The site came down about the middle of the decade. News results dry up both in the UB Spectrum and the Buffalo News after MTV left town despite continuing on to at least 2010. A redirect to Sorority Life may be the best course of action. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:22, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
