Deletion

I don't think this should be speedily deleted on the grounds that Cambridge and Oxford university labour clubs have wikipedia entries. Their entries merely consist of a history, what they do, famous alumni and the current executive, which is what this one includes. This club has been in existence for over half a century and more history will be added as it is researched. No personal accomplishments or actions are mentioned on the entry.

If this is to be deleted, then so should oxford and Cambridge's entries. If there is a difference between the oxbridge ones and this ones, please let me know and I will change it.

Yes - they're Oxford and Cambridge. And you're not.

That's just tory elitism.

Ref Improve tag

Hey. I just reinstated the Refimprove tag that someone from the uni removed recently. If ever an article needed a ref improve tag it's this one I'm afraid. Come on - there must be something out there in the archives that someone can find - in particular the claims that I've marked with citation needed are particularly in need of refs, as is the list of former members.

I've also done a spot of a rewrite and removed the list if current officers as it's essentially vanity unless any of them have any form of inherent notability. Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:13, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is standard practice in this sort of article to include both a list of the current executive and format the 'former members' section the way it was before you decided it should change. See either Oxford or Cambridge's Labour, Conservative or Liberal Democrat articles for example. Also, the rewriting you have done is essentially pointless.
