While I appreciate the article, I think it's a bit pre-mature since there isn't even an article on Selkirk College itself. Maybe you want to start it? Ardenn 21:50, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Selkirk Students' Association, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Selkirk Students' Association. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- Ardenn 21:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
The onus of adding citations is on the person adding the material. So I'll list my objections for yo.
- The complete lack of citations, and these need to be from 3rd-party places, not the students' society itself.
- Removal of the controversies: They were cited, and they are notable for inclusion. There's no reason the two can't peacefully co-exist, both history and perhaps a separate controversy section.
- Copyright: Where did the material come from? Without sources, I can't tell if you write the material, or copied and pasted it from somewhere. It looks too well-written, which I suppose is a bit of a catch 22 since we want well written material. GreenJoe 21:40, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
