[edit] GBU

Looks like an inside joke to me. No assertion of notability. Google searches using "Gang Bang Unit" GBU and "Jason Stomel" "Sam Alavi" yielded no results. –Mysid 10:45, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

• Seems like a very interesting group or cult... If in fact these so called GBU ceremonies take place, I would love to witness one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.181.28.120 (talk • contribs) 11:23, November 30, 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy delete It's either a benign inside joke or an underhanded attack. Either way, kill it quickly. Also note that the only "support" comes from 2 anon IPs, one of which made the page, and whose only other contribution is vandalism. --Bachrach44 16:17, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

• woman in the LA area, I would love to encounter a GB member. It would be an honor to be GBed, especially by the great looking men in the picture.
• As a Chinese man in the LA area, I am thrilled that the GBU embraces affirmative action. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.181.13.96 (talk • contribs)
• Delete hoax, nonsense.--MONGO 03:46, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• First off I would like to say that for all of you out there mocking the GBU and underestimating the potential that these men hold are merely jealous. I have first hand experienced a GB and I have to say it was I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E. I had an encounter with these gentlemen in Las Vegas and am proud to say that what happens in Vegas does not need to stay there. I live in the LA area and am looking in partaking in many more. I can honestly say it was THE BEST night of my life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dph119 (talk • contribs) 06:58, December 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Mandatory to Wikipedia: Although these gentleman in the GBU are soulless people, there actions are noteworthy and should be on your website. This organization, although comprised of "drunk kiddies", has wristbands and t-shirts and are therefore noteworthy and should be allowed on Wikipedia. To ban this post of the GBU would be unconstitutional and morally bankrupt. Although you may feel that this is innaprorpriate, allow these men to express their constitutional rights. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.181.10.112 (talk • contribs)
• Strong Delete This is definitely a hoax. The support here is unsigned and in the same format [i.e. none of them did the standard procedure of putting their vote in bold]. 207.181.6.238, 68.181.13.96, Dph119, and 68.181.10.112 have only edited this page. The only other comment in support of the article is its author -- 68.181.28.120 --, and his only unrelated edit is vandalism. peachlette 13:09, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this page! This is to private to have any interest to the users. There are many meanings of the acronym GBU that would warrant articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.15.135.3 (talk • contribs) 13:14, December 5, 2005 (UTC)
• KEEP PAGE OPEN As stated before this is not a hoax at all. I have had personal encounters with the creators and well as the organization. They not only have merchandise which can be purchased through the organization but the members are all strong advocates to the group and proclaim themselves part of the organization by proadly wearing their GBU merchandise. This is no Hoax but a legitamate organization. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.181.216.105 (talk • contribs)
• Comment This vfd is a perfect example of why we should restrict certain activities (like vfd) to registered users only. This page is an obvious hoax, and yet despite the obvious delete votes by several established wikipedians with thousands of edits, it looks like we're losing the vote to what is clerly a sock puppet. (Most keep votes are from the same subnet, and they're all done in the same style). Oh yes - for the record, T-shirts do not make one notable. --Bachrach44 14:49, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• I am extremely upset that anyone would consider shutting down a reference page for a group of extremely hard working gentlemen. We should all hope that we can one day achieve the status and power of the GBU, and have as much fun as these guys do in our daily lives. I know them personally and appluade their work in the Southern California area. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.181.28.8 (talk • contribs) 09:04, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
