[edit] Mayday DC

Mayday DC (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

OK, this is so embarrassing. Some total newb wrote this in 2005 (*blushes*), not meaning any harm, but looking at it now, I'm not sure what to do with the article. The group is very marginally notable, probably been covered in two or three dozen reliable print and TV news pieces total, but we only made news when we did something like take over a building, so I doubt all the info in the article is verifiable by an independent source, e.g. the info about the weekly meal. I'm pretty sure the group's defunct now, though again, you probably won't find a source to verify it. All this, plus the big fat COI. I think if you removed the OR a good article possibly could be written about the group, but it's no good in its current state. So I'd lean toward delete, but I leave it up to you all to decide. delldot talk 05:50, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

• Yeah, I thought about that, but I wasn't sure it even should be deleted. I wanted to see what others thought, so I'd rather not close this early, if it's not too much of an annoyance to others. delldot talk 07:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete Which is really kind of a shame. Seems like an interesting organization; consider cleaning it up and reposting it. SingCal (talk) 07:06, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
