Absolutely not non-notable, but that doesn't make it worthy of an article. There is a separate article on Freshers' Week into which this should be merged (in fact I will do it now) and then this article can be deleted. Emeraude 21:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

keep. Freshers' fairs are a key event in the calender of UK universities. It is where new student's choose what socities to join and returning students get back in touch. They are massive events with almost all freshers going to them and a very large percentage of members of societies are signed up on this one day (it gets mad if you are on a stall I can tell you...).. --NHSavage 21:54, 30 October 2006 (UTC)merge might be better, I agree.[reply]
- Merge done with Oxford University bias removed Emeraude 21:56, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - we also have Frosh and Orientation week and perhaps others. They are all pretty well unsourced and much longer than they need be. There is an argument for a new combined article to deal with the whole phenomenon, perhaps called College fresher events. BlueValour 22:01, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. The page of course should not now be deleted but redirected to Freshers' Week. --NHSavage 22:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to Freshers' Week (a merge candidate itself). ColourBurst 23:46, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
