Unsourced. Possible hoax written by an editor with the same name as article. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 05:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Narcberry is a very prominent member of the Flat Earth Society. I don't see why he should be erased just because a few people don't respect his beliefs.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Rambo Lincoln — Rambo Lincoln (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I am the user, and have added citations to the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Narcberry (talk • contribs) 05:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. The "source" is theflatearthsociety.org/forum. I can find no sources anywhere. OR, not verifiable, and, if not hoax, COI. DoubleBlue (Talk) 06:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unless we find out who this person really is so that we can decipher if s/he is notable. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 06:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong delete - Even if you can prove something is true it does not make it notable automatically. asenine t/c\r (fc: f2abr04) 06:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete hoaxalicious. JuJube (talk) 06:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as a hoax.--Berig (talk) 08:52, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable. From supplied sources, this appears to be just some guy who runs (or posts to) an online forum which happens to have the same name as a notable society. --McGeddon (talk) 10:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong delete as non-notable. He is not quoted or mentioned outside of a single Internet forum. There is no verification of his claim to be the successor of the founder of The Flat Earth Society outside of that forum. There is not even a way to verify that he is a flesh-and-bone person.Avillarrealpouw (talk) 16:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • keep* I know for a fact that these claims are true. Thought his beliefs are outlandish, all these things are his true beliefs and can be seen at the flat earth societies current website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.64.24.72 (talk) 19:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Not notable, with the distinctive piscine aroma of a hoax.Ecoleetage (talk) 21:54, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Not a notable person. 01:22, 3 May 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trekky0623 (talk • contribs)
  • Strong Keep - The Flat Earth Society does have an official site. On the official Site, Narcberry IS referenced as their current leader. That is the only reference that should matter. As far as not being referenced outside of those forums is due to the newness of his position and unpopularity of his church. The church still has a significant historical role since modern geography is based on these ancient ideas, although newly casted. This church, and it's leader, have a historical impact on today's world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Narcberry (talk • contribs) 01:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
