UCSB Hillel

A local branch of a larger student organization. No claims to meeting WP:ORG itself and the sources provided are all connected to the subject. Nuttah (talk) 14:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a tricky/borderline case in my opinion. The huge objection I see here is that all the sources are all on-campus UCSB sources. But I am swung to a keep because: (1) I think the current article is decent in quality, (2) there are numerous articles written covering the organization in detail in the student paper: [1]. Two more sources: [2], [3], mentioning a lecture. (3) The fact that the organization has built and owns its building, esp. since it has used green building practices. Also, the fact that they sponsor salsa is highly interesting to me, due to the connection with Argentine Jews. In short, this article has the potential to tie in with other topics, in ways that are referencable, and that is one of the key aspects of notability for me.

Delete Local college chapters of national organizations are not usually notable; this is a good example of that. Almost everything discussed here is entirely campus-related. The wider activism discussed is pretty standard for a group of this sort--for example, they hold a Holocaust Remembrance event, and they provide space for other Jewish groups' programs. Student paper coverage of student events is generally indiscriminateNo sources outside the immediate community, and no particular reason why there should be any. .

* Comment Here's a single, minor mention of the group's Rabbi in a non-university source: [4]. Perhaps more importantly, here is an external source that documents in more detail the green building practices I mentioned: [5]. That source is external to the university and the coverage there is fairly extensive. Cazort (talk) 22:48, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete - I'm not seeing anything that strongly distinguishes this chapter from any local college organization. I agree with DGG. Magog the Ogre (talk) 20:56, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Can the material here be pared down and merged, most of the material into UCSB, and some of it into Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life? I still want to keep, but would strongly prefer a Merge over a delete. Cazort (talk) 22:11, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
