Local student government organization. No WP:Reliable Sources. No assertion of WP:Notability. Plenty of WP:Original Research. Merge to main page contested. RedShiftPA (talk) 17:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

:*Comment Please cite the guideline which states that it is inherently notable simply for existing. --Dhartung | Talk 21:10, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep: Not inherently notable, but ASUW still has [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Associated+Students+of+the+University+of+Washington%22&btnG=Search+Archives&um=1 a number] of reliable sources that have yet to be included. They were also involved in Washington State Supreme Court case GOOD v. ASSOCIATED STUDENTS.—Noetic Sage 18:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - the first and third results on the link Noetic Sage provided establish notability - involved in Washington Supreme Court Case, recognized by Washington State as a historical "Century Corporation."--Michael WhiteT·C 21:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, for whatever reason, this one has attracted national recognition. Paddy Simcox (talk) 00:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge. This student government may be notable, but the article has no sources. I suggest merging it into the parent article. If, at some future point, the subject is well-sourced and long enough to stand on its own, it can once more be spun off into an independent article. Lovelac7 02:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Adequate sourcing, enough encyclopedic information, good editing as a merge for other information.DGG (talk) 01:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep This SU actually has reliable sources as mentioned by NoeticSage's Google News search link (esp the supreme court case). - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 17:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
