It's a student society at a university. The references on the page are mostly primary or passing mentions. I don't see anything else that seems substantial enough to meet WP:GNG JMWt (talk) 10:01, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - All of the sources in the article are either passing mentions or primary sources (note that the book cited was published by the society itself). I've looked through Google News/Scholar/Books and can't find anything more substantial - a number of references to the society's involvement in various digs, plus some notable people who were previously associated with the society, but no substantial coverage of the society itself. Thus, fails WP:GNG and WP:NORG. WJ94 (talk) 10:47, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
