[edit] MAPA

• Comment: Hello. This is not a "joke" or "POV rant." MAPA is a real organization with over 20 active members from Mandeville, Louisiana. There is a meeting on Memorial Day weekend of this year to discuss a web site and publication of a book on its purpose. I can provide names, contact info, and meeting agendas if proof is needed. Thank you. Pajhonka 19:36, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Oh boy, a whole 20 members !!!!! Proof of vanity right there. Delete. Soundguy99 18:23, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: 20 members may not seem like a significant amount, but it is in terms of Mandeville, Louisiana. Every organization has to start somewhere and for a young group in our area, this is a lot of members.

Neither do I think it's fair to make fun of you just because of that. — JIP | Talk 18:19, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. This "group" referred to doesn't seem to actually exist (ie, no google hits), besides it's POV and also vanity (since there seems to be no other indication this group exists. Add in the vandalism... R Calvete 19:07, 2005 Apr 25 (UTC)
• Delete. Rant, article about a non-notable group. --Carnildo 21:37, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
