Article appears to be created by a single purpose account for promotional purposes around the same time the fraternity was created. I am nominating per WP:ORGDEPTH as there is 0 coverage of the organization outside of school affiliated websites or social media. And even if it's the "first Arab interest fraternity", that is not enough to keep the article per WP:ORGSIG—"No company or organization is considered inherently notable."BriefEdits (talk) 07:50, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Clearly fails WP:ORG. Brycehughes (talk) 10:36, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify Single chapter, does not yet meet our (the F&S Project)'s 10-year requirement for notability of locals. Frustratingly, the group's website is down. It may be dormant. I'd prefer to keep the page as a draft, to resume as an article after 2024 if they remain an active group. Many of these 'start-up' locals fail; Dormancy wouldn't be surprising.

Delete per nom. The issue with moving to draft space is that unless there's additional activity with this fraternity in the next 6 months, the draft is subject to deletion by WP:G13. I don't see the draft surviving for another 3 years to meet the requirements of F&S Project. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 15:29, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point. I could keep it in my own draft space but I think that is likewise subject to timeout, or could take a copy of the page to bring forward later. They remain listed as active on UCLA student life pages, but their own website is down. Attributable to growing pains or dormancy, I don't know. Jax MN (talk) 15:34, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
