[edit] Delete?

Whole article reads like QUT Student Guild marketing material. QUT Guild lacks any form of notability, and any edits offering criticism to balance its NPOV nature are often reverted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.208.146.56 (talk) 07:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Rebecca, please stop reverting my changes (request for deletion, and Guild criticism). At least discuss changes. WP's policy on notability for organisations states: "A company, corporation, organization, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of coverage in secondary sources." WP:CORP As it stands, the current article reads like promotional material for the guild and is pretty much all not in compliance with WP:NPOV. I'm curious in your thoughts, and whether you have a conflict of interest in seeing this article stand? 121.208.146.56 (talk) 07:02, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

Some mention should be made that the guild has refused to put their budget online, even though they promised to do so in the previous election. For shame.

I just added a section for Guild criticism - hopefully the damn trots don't remove it. Cheers. 131.181.251.66 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 07:41, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Nice to see some Guild fanatic remove my criticism. At least respond to it, don't just delete it.121.208.146.56 —Preceding comment was added at 07:46, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Also they are becoming irrelevant. See http://guildonline.net/page.asp?name=StudentServices_VCReps

[edit] Unnecessary detail on women's and queer

By far and away too much content both in the general sections and the queer subsections, by the guild's own figures the queer and women's collectives represent a statistically insignificant minority.
