Nonnotable student club. References do not establish notability, and Google returns nothing relevant either. Google News returns zero links. Part of Liberal Youth Scotland, which is notable, but the Aberdeen branch merits no more than a mention on the Liberal Youth Scotland page, which is already there. Prod declined using invalid "other stuff exists" argument, pointing to Glasgow University Liberal Democrats, therefore I am also nominating that page as well:

• Keep This is referring to the Glasgow page which has been bunched in with this. It should be kept for the fact that it is the oldest political society on campus, with many famous alumni such as Charles Kennedy and Ming Campbell. Many other Glasgow societies have their own Wiki page so this shouldn't be singled out. In addition, Oxford and Cambridge University Liberal Democrats have their own page, and Aberdeen and Glasgow are both ancient universities too. I strongly suggest keeping the articles, or at least split the Glasgow one into a different deletion vote for fairness, as some arguments which are Aberdeen specific have been put it.

• Searching for "Glasgow University Liberal Democratic Society", the claimed immediate former name of the GULD, gets only the Wikipedia page itself. [http://www.gla.ac.uk/clubs/libdem/history.html The club's own history page] seems to indicate a spiritual connection to earlier clubs, not a lineal one. Abductive (talk) 21:03, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

:*Any relevant history can easily fit on the Liberal Youth Scotland page. Hairhorn (talk) 03:57, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

• Keep Both Both clubs are notable societies in their universities. Glasgow is historic with notable former members, as is Aberdeen, including Rev. Scott Rennie as a former member. They are the two biggest societies in Liberal Youth Scotland and part of ancient universities. See Oxford University Liberal Democrats and Cambridge Student Liberal Democrats. Provides useful information for those researching the university and party and do not receive sufficient mention on Liberal Youth Scotland page. alexanderryland (talk) 20:00, 22 June 2009 (UTC)— alexanderryland (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. {{ #if: | The preceding unsigned comment was added at {{{2}}} (UTC).}}
