Delete - college clubs are not notable unless there are special considerations that don't apply here. BlueValour 00:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The GU Labour Club has produced many prominent Labour apparatchiks. There are 13 articlespace links to the page, and I could presumably add to that if I could be bothered. Which special considerations ? Angus McLellan(Talk)11:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Apart from the fact they have debates and invite politicans to speak (typical activities for a University politics club I would imagine)- what have they done to be notable? Astrotrain 12:02, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is actually a significant organisation in Scottish politics, and arguably in UK politics as a whole. It has been, and continues to be, a vital training ground for many senior politicians. As such it is an encyclopaedic topic. The article as it stands is bare, but the topic, which is what this AfD discussion is, or should be, about, is notable (certainly more notable than this topic, which I note that the proposer, Astrotrain, has voted to keep.) --Mais oui!10:42, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nearly all politicians who went to university had the university political goup as "a vital training ground". Individual political societies at universities are not inherently notable. Timrollpickering12:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete very clearly fails WP:ORG. I quote: "Individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article". None of the other notability criteria are met. Ohconfucius06:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. GULC is highly influential in the UK political scene. ALthough members generally do not acheive much while in it they have gone on to be extremely influential in UK politics.GiollaUidir16:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
