ADVANCE Student Organization

Contested PROD; prod tag (and prod endorsement tag) were removed with the not "this page should not be deleted without discussion", but with no edits to improve the article. No assertion of notability, 10 ghits that don't amount to significant coverage (they are passing mentions), and nothing at all in Google news, books or scholar, therefore no evidence that guidelines for inclusion have been met.

Delete - completely non-notable and non-encyclopaedic. Canterbury Tail talk 17:26, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The proposed deletion should have been allowed to expire if the person removing the proposed deletion only opposed it because there was "no discussion". Doing so is basically stating that the entire WP:PROD process is invalid. There's no reason for this article to still be on Wikipedia. -- Atama ^chat 17:33, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The person who removed the proposed deletion is on the Administrator's noticeboard for deprodding a number of articles just after account creation and suspicion of being a sock. While not an indicator of whether or not this article in particular deserves to stay, I thought it should be disclosed. -- Atama ^chat 17:37, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete clearly non-notable organization. If we cut all of the POV language out of the article, such as "prepare African American college students for a world of effective professionalism" and "employers have a unique opportunity to contribute to the workforce of tomorrow" and "for promoting leaders of tomorrow" there would be nothing left. Add to that, the article cannot pass WP:V since there are no reliable, independent sources available to write about this group. The Seeker 4 Talk 18:37, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Migh, just possibly, be worth a passing mention in the University of Cincinnati article, but there's no indication it's worth an article of its own. Anaxial (talk) 18:41, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete To be fair, the name of the club isn't "ADVANCE Student Organization", it is just "ADVANCE", which increases the number of Google hits to ∞. Still, it is just a student club at a single university without particular notability. Outside of its university there is little interest in it, as evidenced by its Wikipedia page view stats of about 1 view a day. Abductive (talk) 18:50, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete merely part of a career development office at a university. No sources for notability nor are there likely to be. DGG (talk) 00:48, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
