Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Fraternities and sororities

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Fraternities and sororities. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Fraternities and sororities|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Fraternities and sororities. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Delete based on WP:BRANCH. Although plenty of sources are included, notability calls for independent sources and significant coverage. Sources associated with the school and the fraternity might be reliable but are not considered independent. The other coverage is not significant. Rublamb (talk) 16:03, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Westenbroek v. Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article, while purportedly about a court case, seems to in fact be a bio of one of the participants in the court case. Either way, neither she nor the case itself are notable.

For the case, it received some news coverage in 2023 when it was first filed and when it was dismissed, but only one story has been written about it this year, despite the fact that it went to the 10th Circuit. It was later dismissed by the 10th Circuit under procedural grounds, which was not covered at all. As the case was dismissed in both venues it appeared in, it is very unlikely it will have any relevance going forward, whether to the parties themselves or to the status of case law on transgender people as a whole.

For Artemis Langford, BLP1E applies as she is not notable for anything outside of this case. She's not even a party to the lawsuit as it currently stands. As neither the case nor Langford seem to be notable, I propose deletion. Pinguinn 🐧 03:26, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Kappa Kappa Gamma where this is rightly already covered.—S Marshall T/C 08:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not going to !vote as I created the article and still believe the subject to be a notable one. I do see continued sourcing including last month as the future state of the lawsuit remains unsettled. Would prefer redirection suggested by S Marshall to outright deletion should consensus land that it isn't a notable lawsuit. Star Mississippi 13:18, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Kappa Kappa Gamma. Current article seems to largely fit under the umbrella of the section in Kappa Kappa Gamma . I'm not sure what articles would be similar to this, the closest that I see from Wikipedia:WikiProject_Fraternities_and_Sororities/Watchlist is probably DePauw University Delta Zeta discrimination controversy which I'm not sure this has reached the level of. As a note, this article wasn't on the WP Watchlist so I'll mention it at the Wikiproject to make sure others there see. I don't think this counts as canvassing, I fully expect one or more people there to want to keep it and/or add to the article. :) (Couldn't find any other articles on Lawsuits on membership, the closest that I found is the info in Iron Arrow about their anti-title IX lawsuit, most lawsuit mentions that I can find are part of the aftermath of a hazing incident) Naraht (talk) 13:57, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect: This article has adequate sources to meet notability because of its national coverage. However, because the court case didn't lead to anything significant, this content is best suited for the Controversies section of the Kappa Kappa Gamma article. There is already a subsection on this case in the Kappa Kappa Gamma article; it would be a good idea to see if any of the content from this article should be merged prior to its deletion.
