No demonstration of notability. Cannot find independent in-depth coverage in reliable sources - lack of WP:SIGCOV. Only founded in 2016 - fails WP:SUSTAINED. Edwardx ( talk) 23:58, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

- Delete. None of the references in the article are WP:RS. This comes pretty close to WP:A7 material. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:54, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. This page acts as both a student organisation page as well as a podcast page. Other podcasts, see The Greatest Generation (podcast) have not been faced scrutiny for WP:SUSTAINED, which debuted in roughly the same time remain so the criteria for should not be applied in my opinion.
- And given that this a student organisation, it seems common for most of their Wikipedia pages to have little in-depth coverage from reliable sources (see Conférence Olivaint (which has none), Bummit and Film Unit at Sheffield University, Racing Green Endurance from Imperial, Institute of Making at UCL, Children's Holiday Venture at Edinburgh, etc.). It is similar to the other student pages developed from the LSE - see LSE German Society and LSE Alternative Investment Conference in terms of the depth of coverage from third party sources. Given the calibre of speakers giving speeches, I believe that the page will attract more news coverage/reliable sources soon. However, for now, perhaps tagging the page with a {*{primary sources|}*} template can alleviate some of your concerns? Kioj156 ( talk) 01:37, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
- Keep and improve. Regarding Kioj156's comment on 'calibre of speakers', see WP:INHERITORG, nevertheless the number and quality of speakers is impressive. Based on the above findings on the wikipedia pages of student organisations, there seems to be a precedent on the standard of sources and notability. The article in question is written in a neutral tone and cites its sources properly so no improvement is needed on this part. I would recommend orienting this page towards it podcast status rather than its club/organisation status or alternatively focus on any demonstrable effects on society or education it may have. However if this page does end up getting removed for the reasons cited by Edwardx, I support the removal of several of the referenced student organisations pages as well. EmyRussell ( talk) 02:55, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
- Keep and improve. As EmyRussel said, speakers are relevant & notable, and the article has room for improvement. It is a student organization which might suggest non-notability. Could it be possibly merged with the University website at large? Lagrime ( talk) 06:44, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
