A list of Christian Union student societies at UK universities/colleges, all but two of which are non-notable. The only sources in the article are from UCCF, the umbrella organisation for most Christian Unions in the UK; I can't find any independent reliable sources which would establish notability for this list. Does not aid navigation, since almost none of the groups listed have their own articles (each group listed just links to the university/college at which it is based). Fails WP:NOTDIR and WP:LISTCRIT.

Delete - obviously not notable in my opinion. Student societies are unlikely to be notable, lists are therefore even less so. WP:NOTEVERYTHING JMWt (talk) 15:54, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - when the first sentence tells you the list is derived from a single website, it's a pretty big clue the list fails WP:NLIST. Clearly WP:NOTDIR. 69.92.163.38 (talk) 16:21, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Slight merger -- The article claims that its list is derived from one produced by UCCF. That primary list does not appear in the "see also" items in the UCCF article, which instead relies on this articles. The article is trying to reproduce a directory, but there will be no person who will certainly maintain the list, which thus is at risk of getting out of date, whereas UCCF are likely to maintain their own list. I support the work of UCCF financially, but like most student societies individual Christian Unions are inherent NN, with the possible exception of the Oxford and Cambridge ones. As a matter of information, UCCF is the umbrella organisation for University and College CUs, but there are also school CUs, whose umbrella organisation is Scripture Union.

I'm not sure what we would merge into the UCCF article. Including a list of all the UCCF affiliated Christian Unions at the UCCF article would violate WP:NOTDIR just as much as having a separate list would, so I would oppose including this list there. WJ94 (talk) 09:37, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with the above deletes. History person 2 (talk) 14:27, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
