Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Auditors of the Literary and Historical Society (University College Dublin)
The Literary and Historical Society (University College Dublin)|L&H Society is a highly notable institution acknowledged as the most competitive of its kind in Ireland or Britain. Even James Joyce attemped to become auditor (here, the term auditor does not denote an accounting function; it means something akin to chairperson). Most L&H auditors have later had highly distinguished careers in Irish and international society. The position of auditor of this society is practically a marker of future distinction. One comment above states that the list belongs at the original UCD website, but that PDF file does not provide links to existing Wikipedia articles about people on the list, which is why this wikified version is needed. People listed are the very opposite of "ordinary punters" alleged above; they could hardly be less ordinary. Perhaps they were simply not recognised by the person who made that remark. Citations of  and  are wildly off-target and misapplied in this instance because no privacy is violated as alleged, and the people are very well known. It is alleged too that there was violation of  but this was claimed without a shred of substantiation, and is wrong. The argument that "It is beyond doubt that this position does not confer notability" is simply not true. Most holders of the position go on to highly visible and notable social distinction: that is the very reason the list is of such interest and value. More wikilinks will be embedded as I and others find more Wikipedia articles about people on the list; some people have already been improving the list since it was proposed for deletion: the list has just been newly uploaded and is a work in progress. It needs time to reach its potential and proposal for deletion is premature
