Phi Delta Theta

Hi, I've prodded for deletion Iowa Gamma of Phi Delta Theta‎. In the past, any individual chapter of any fraternity and sorority has been deleted. In fact there was a whole project devoted to creating articles of all chapters of Beta Theta Pi. The entire project was deleted. Wikipedia is not a webspace provider for any individual chapter of any organization. This was actually brought up in the Fraternities and Sororities Wikipedia project when discussing chapter pages. Regardless of any membership size, history, awards etc. they have all been deleted. Also, I've noticed that you've created the category Phi Delta Theta. It's good idea, however only fraternity related articles should be placed in the category and not individual alumni. For example, Sigma Chi has a category[1], but only those articles related to the organization as a whole such as their philanthropy, magazine etc. are included, not their alumni. There was actually a category of famous alumni for each individual fraternity. These too were also deleted [2]. Lists are fine in placing alumni but not categories. Hope this helps. If you have any questions please let me know. ----Ðysepsion † ^{Speak your mind} 02:49, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I'm new and picked this as one of my first couple articles. It was proposed for deletion before for the notability requirement but I deleted the reference since it seemed to meet the criteria. Your reference makes more sense; if you'd done it yesterday you could have saved me the afternoon ;)

That's okay. Wikipedia has a lot of guidelines. Trust me, when I first started editing I made whole bunch of edits which were against some Wikipedia policy. I hope this doesn't discourage you. Regardless, your ability to properly cite sources was very good and better than many other experienced editors. Happy editing! ----Ðysepsion † ^{Speak your mind} 04:43, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Go right on ahead. A couple of other Phis have already used it. Nice to see other Phis on this site! ----Ðysepsion † ^{Speak your mind} 05:14, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
