This page seems to focus on nation wide engineering traditions rather than those of the UBC EUS in particular. Is there a "Canadian Engineering" page of some sort were most of this stuff would be better in? TastyCakes 04:16, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Further to my comments on the deletion proposal, I think that this article requires a complete rewrite to focus on the UBC EUS, rather than on engineering traditions in general. The information currently on the article is (for the most part) valuable, but not in this context. The material on the ring would fit on such a "Canadian Engineering" page, while the part about the pub could be pared down substantially. I'd like to see (and would be happy to work on) an article that outlines the history, traditions, and notoriety of the EUS. Ckatz 04:48, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- Then go ahead and write it. Ardenn 04:40, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
I moved the stuff I thought was unrelated to the EUS in particular to Engineering traditions in Canada. Some of it will probably have to be removed even from there. TastyCakes 21:00, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Renomination
How can this article be up for renomination for deletion? I checked wikipedias polcies Deletion_policy#Limitations_on_renominationand renominating this does not follow these policies. ryanc 20:32, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- It can be renominated at any time, no matter the result of the previous afd. In this case the result was no consensus, I want to get a clearer consensus. Ardenn 20:33, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
-
- What is your reasoning for deletion? I have updated to page to relect UBC engineering as suggested in the prior deletion discussion, yet you still request that the page be deleted. Rather than deletion, it may be better to give me suggestions on how to improve this article. I have a lot of information about the society. ryanc 20:38, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

- My reasons are stated on the afd nomination page. That's the place to discuss it. Ardenn 20:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Past Presidents
Is there any reason I cannot have a list of past presidents? There is one on the Alma Mater Society of UBC. Since the EUS is strongly based on history and tradition, I think it's a good idea to do this. I know wikipedia is not a directory, but that's not the intent of this. ryanc 20:17, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Doesn't mean the AMS should include it either. Ardenn 20:32, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
-
- I realize that. Is there any reason why it should not be included here? ryanc 20:44, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] COPYVIO
Is it just me or is most of this article a copyvio from here?? I'll avoid posting a {{copyvio}} notice on the article space for a few day, because of recent activity, but you need to write our own material!! Good luck. Andrewjuren(talk) 06:49, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Does it matter that I have control over the content on that website? ryanc 17:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, it does matter. See Wikipedia:Copyrights. Ardenn 18:35, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
-
- Fair enough, there is no problem using this material, but I can easily write something new. ryanc 20:15, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Soapbox
Please note, comments like "This organization can, and will, evolve to meet the needs of today's student" are not encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Andrewjuren(talk) 06:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stunts
Hey Ryan, you say on the deletion nomination page that you have a list of previous stunts done by the EUS. Do you think you could put a more comprehensive list of these on the site with dates? I think that would go a long way in making people think the article is notable. TastyCakes 07:32, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
-
- Of course I can do that. I wish we had an archivist! ryanc 19:07, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
