Harvard College Democrats

Single chapter of College Democrats--notability is not inherited from University or national organization (WP:NOTINHERITED). No evidence of stand-alone notability through WP:GNG or WP:ORG. There's nothing to distinguish this chapter from the hundreds of other chapters (Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill). GrapedApe (talk) 13:06, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

However, it follows precedent of other chapters having pages citing notable contributions to political parties. The article articulates the success of the Democrats, and acknowledges their important influence on Massachusetts politics. While other schools may have similar chapters, the Harvard College Democrats are unique in that they have had some of the most lasting impact, as detailed in the article.--140.247.0.110
- Just because other chapters have articles doesn't mean that this one is notable. Please read WP:OTHERSTUFF and WP:GNG--GrapedApe (talk) 02:17, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to College Democrats; subject has received significant coverage, however from what I can find most of that significant coverage is in its local area. Per WP:ORG#Local units of larger organizations, the chapter needs to receive significant coverage outside its area to be considered independently notable from its parent organization. Most coverage outside of its local area is passing mention, although there are multiple passing mentions in multiple reliable source (the vast majority which do not have the subject of this article under consideration as the primary subject of the publication); I am of the opinion that those multiple mentions outside of its local area do not add up to be considered significant coverage. Therefore, the content should be summarized down to only what can be verified and is relevant, and merged to the parent organization article, and a redirect left in its place.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:43, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - RightCow makes a very logical statement.— -dainomite 02:00, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
