Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Georgetown Improv Association (2nd nomination)
without giving an opinion about the article itself (I have commented on others elsewhere and am waiting to see if some can be brought up to scratch) I would like to make a suggestion: a good start would be to remove all the references from The Hoya and other on-campus student sources so that you can argue your case against only reliable, independent sources. |Link spamming reference from The Hoya is only going to make other editors think (rightly or wrongly) that the article fails  and that involved (in some cases openly |COI) editors are trying to create notability where it does not exist. Whether you agree or not, |consensus seems to be that those sources are not independent. Given the article for The Hoya openly says the paper has financial links to the University, tried to cut them and failed, it is easy to see how that conclusion could be drawn. Get rid of them, build your case with the independent sources you say exist and these articles will all be saved. The reality is that if an article relies (entirely) on The Hoya to meet the ''"significant coverage"'' tag then it probably fails  already, regardless of independence
