Talk:Pi Beta Phi

message: As per my edit summary I'm discussing in depth why I deleted people from the notable alumni list. The first reason is that it reflects poorly on Pi Beta Phi to have a bunch of people who are supposed to be notable but do not have a wiki article of their own. I did go throughout the list and link what could be linked (e.g. mispelled names eg Margaret Truman Daniels) The second reason is that Wikipedia is (WP:NOT) not a repository for links, the white pages or yellow pages, and it's not "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics such as quotations, aphorisms, or persons (real or fictional)". I think as long as the Pi Beta Phi's notable alumni page is linked to the wiki page then all of the redlinked persons are not necessary anyway. If you have a problem with this change please discuss it on here before reinstating the red links. Thanks --ImmortalGoddezz 04:41, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Pi beta phi pledge.jpg

message: Apparently, the Pi Beta Phi chapter in Athens Ohio was involved in quite a mess in when they rented the Parkersburg Art Center in Parkersburg, West Virginia, for a dinner dance and subsequently trashed the place. A letter from the director of the center, addressed to the chapter preseident, details the damage. The Center issued a further statement about the event. I don't know enough about it to dare add a reference to the page, and I imagine that the sorority's members would prefer that it not be here, but I thought I'd raise it so that somebody with access to better sources could make a call as to whether to add it.

* If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
* If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
* If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request
