[edit] Zombie Squad

composed of a few hundred members only? non-notable? Zzzzz 19:14, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per nom Zzzzz 19:18, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. A good cause, but fails the notability litmus test per nom. --PeruvianLlama^(spit) 19:48, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Notability is not part of deletion policy. This is verifiable and a good, neutral article is possible. Trollderella 20:45, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
• Notability is a big part of the deletion criteria. That's why we delete "Fred J Skewfixer is a student at Trogmore High." and suchlike. Anyway, delete. DJ Clayworth 22:29, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually, it does not appear in any policy. The reason we would delete that is because it is not verifiable. That is policy. Trollderella 21:50, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
    • WP:CSD, WP:BIO, and WP:WEB, which, in Trollderella's defense, define notability in specific contexts. Anyway, verifiability is actually the bigger issue here; I don't see any evidence that there's even a "squad" here, but just a zombie movie fansite. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:57, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Well, this isn't CSD, not that the CSD policy mentions notabilty - it doesn't. WP:Bio does, but it's not policy, and WP:web does, but it is only proposed, not polciy. Notability is not part of deletion policy. Trollderella 23:17, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - Unless this community has a significant offline presence, it fails WP:WEB miserably. The Alexa ranking is six digits and the forum has about 2250 usernames. Delete this unless someone can provide some verifiable info showing that this isn't a zombie-movie fansite. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 22:27, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep.
  • Please share your reasoning and sign your vote. - Mgm|^(talk) 19:11, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, unverifiable. Find me some legitimate sources for the info and my vote'll change, but I couldn't find any. Ziggurat 22:04, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Please try to find a valid reason for recommending deletion ;) Trollderella 23:19, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Sup. What sort of verification do we need? Here are a few news articles I found about them from a quick google search: 1:Webster University Article 2:River Front Times

• Keep These guys have a significant presence in charity work and disaster preparedness ( see linked articles above ). Rus 13:18, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
  • • Actually folks - take a look - this deserves a second glance - I think it is verifiable. Trollderella 18:42, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep They are not just a zombie movie site, they have projects that often bring members together (Zombie Con) and do various charity events (like Hurricane Katrina relief). --Kyle S. 00:55, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
