Non-notable student newspaper, with few relevant hits on a web search. --Ardonik 19:55, Jul 29, 2004 (UTC)

  • The information contained in this article could just as easily be represented by replacing the article link on Georgia Institute of Technology, section "Student media and organizations" with the external link to the newspaper site. Merge, delete. --Ianb 23:59, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Was it called The Technique? We just called it the Tech. Student paper, deserves to be mentioned in the Georgia Tech article, not as a stand alone. Not much to merge, but merge what there is with Tech, & then delete. (Go Jackets!) Geogre 00:22, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge and delete per Ianb. Would require major disambiguation anyway; MIT's yearbook is called Technique and their student newspaper is called The Tech (the word "the" being part of the name; wags once made a point of saying "have you read the The Tech today?") It wouldn't surprise me a bit if RPI had a newspaper called The Polytechnic or WPI had one called Tech News... Heck, for all I know, John O'Connell Technical High School in San Francisco might publish a "The Tech." Caltech could conceivably have a graduate student guidebook called "The Technique."

  • It's actually (currently) just Technique, though historically it's switched between that and The Technique. I'm on the ed board of the paper. If desired, I could easily expand the substub into an article, but the number of people that would be interested in the article are few and far between. I actually just found out about this site yesterday so I don't know what makes a topic worthy of an article. At first pass, I'd consider the Technique to fall below the 'noise threshold', so I'll either write/not write based on comments here. Grayrest 00:19, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • My suggestion would be that you go to the Georgia Institute of Technology page, find the student life or campus publications portion, and then write up something there. It's good information for the Tech page. It's just that it probably fails notability as a stand-alone entry. People vary on their rationale, but mine is, "Will a user of Wikipedia be likely to search for this term and not know to search for the information another way?" In the case of Technique, the answer is probably "no." Geogre 02:21, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
