[edit] Abuf

Every high school has its cliques; few are worth an article. As it currently reads, this article fails to make the grade. llywrch 00:49, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. If it specified the High School, it could be merged into that high school's article. Capitalistroadster 01:15, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

• "few are worth an article." Few? Few? Few? "No one knows for sure what the acronym ABUF stands for". This article tastes like burning. Please put it out of its misery. Or my misery. Delete --DavidConrad 04:37, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep I did not go to this high school but did grow up in Minnesota. This group is well known in the state and have even been documented on KARE 11 (about 10 years ago). The group is worth having a listing in an encyclopedia that wishes to inform people. There are already many fraternities listed within this website. Being sponsored by the school for over 30 years, I see no difference with this one. 167.181.247.6 12:15, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  • If the club received coverage on television and in newspapers independent of the school itself, as you are implying, please cite it in the article. As things stand, there is no evidence to back up your claim. Indeed, there's no evidence presented for verifying even the existence of the article's subject. Uncle G 16:41:52, 2005-09-01 (UTC)
    • I'd say that even if the part about being on KARE 11 is true, it still wouldn't be notable. Lots of non-notable stuff shows up on local TV news. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:16, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Many organizations are listed in this encyclopedia, this is just one more. It has history in the state of Minnesota and is well known throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. There is an adopt a highway sign sponsored by the organization (for the past 5-6 years) on Tracy Avenue in Edina. ABUF is no different than many organizations already listed in this encyclopedia.Pete1000 19:39, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  • To repeat: Please cite sources, because as things stand there is no evidence to back up your claims. Uncle G 11:48:25, 2005-09-02 (UTC)

• Delete: The author doesn't even know what it is. It's a fraternity-like thing? This is a hoax and a speedy delete. If anyone counts the anon votes and the nonce account votes as "no consensus," then I hope that person also looks at the speedy delete criteria and realizes that this is a delete.
