The only notable event seems to be the visit of the Thai PM and none of the sources reference this society. Other sources are not independent suggesting non notability Aloneinthewild (talk) 13:21, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. The presence of famous people doesn't confer notability and the society itself hasn't attracted much (if any) coverage as far as I can tell, so it fails WP:CLUB. All the independent coverage I can find is trivial per WP:SIGCOV (i.e. of the form Famous Person X said Y at the Oxford International Relations Society). —Nizolan (talk) 15:03, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

- Keep mostly notable for a single controversy, it is still notable (see sources in the article). Hobit (talk) 09:06, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
- Yet none of the sources reference this society, they reference the college or the Thai Society. Aloneinthewild (talk) 17:40, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Hobit: Agreed with Aloneinthewild. Could you be more specific on which sources? If this is in reference to the Thai controversy, as far as I can tell none of the articles even mentions the International Relations Society. —Nizolan (talk) 14:26, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete, fails WP:CLUB quite signally. Bishonen | talk 19:10, 7 April 2016 (UTC).
- Delete as still questionable for solid independent notability and, at best, can be mentioned at the University's article. SwisterTwister talk 22:36, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
