This article fails to show why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Non-notable. Delete Ardenn 19:42, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Also, please stop biting the newbies Ardenn. The president of a significant real life organization, which is clearly notable is helping to improve this article. Don't delete please. --Nick Dillinger 20:40, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Thank you Nick. I am new, and I am getting no help or suggestions. ryanc 20:41, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

There's no proof of who he really is, and regardless, it's still NOT NOTABLE. Ardenn 20:44, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Come to my office, at least it will give you peace of mind that I am who I say I am. ryanc 20:47, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Will you pay for the flight from Ottawa? Not everyone who edits here is from BC. Ardenn 20:47, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes. Honestly, the best proof I can give you is if you check the website. it says on the start page that I'm elected. Also you can email the presidents email, it gets forwarded to my hotmail account.ryanc 20:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Strong delete as non-notable student group. Ardenn is altogether correct when she intimates that, irrespective of the propriety of her nominating the article of a newbie, the group is non-notable; no decorous welcome would change that. There are cases in which the subject of an article can be identified as notable even where no assertion of notability is made; in such cases it is surely appropriate for an editor either to improve the article him/herself or to contact the creator and suggest that he/she edit the article in order that notability should be established (or at least that an assertion should be essayed); here, even asd the article presents a good deal of information about the subject, it is eminently clear that the subject is non-notable, which term we generally ascribe to student groups save those which are university-wide (see, e.g., student governments, especially at Canadaian colleges and universities) or otherwise notable (see, e.g., The Whiffenpoofs).

The EUS is an internationally known group. In Vancouver alone we are known extremely well for 'hanging the bug', and our red jackets which can be seen all over the city. Many engineers worldwide also have these red jackets. Internationally we also have recognition from our many stunts as seen in the article. I would be more than happy to expand on some of the stunts. FYI The Queen of England, Prince Charles, Boris Yeltsin, and Scotty from Star Trek all have been given reds and have worn them (exception: the Queen did not wear hers to my knownledge). ryanc 21:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete or, failing that, merge into Alma Mater Society of the University of British Columbia and/or University of British Columbia. It is a very nicely done article, but it's just non-notable. — Rebelguys2 21:09, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
