The result was Speedy deleted by admin BanyanTree (reason: csd g10 - I'm getting no Google hits for the combination of names that aren't Wikipedia). Non-admin closing of orphaned AFD per WP:DPR. Serpent's Choice 04:07, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] S.S. of America

Non-notable hate group. A Google search for "'SS of America' -wikipedia" yields 40 hits. My name yields 121. The references that do appear come from fringe-element newsletters, blogs, forums, and other non-notable media. Consequentially 05:41, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

The wording is my mistake. Still, they paint a pretty bland picture. The ADL and CDR websites -- the three two most reliable websites on search results -- refer to them only as a street gang, in reference to the Confederate Knights. The Public Eye article, also reliable, refers to their self-published notice in a Neo-Nazi zine. The remaining sources refer back to those three articles, or have nothing to do with the organization we're talking about. The last 20 search results are equal parts typos like "busine ss of america," or statements like "the Marines are the SS of America." So two minor references in lists of skinhead street gangs, a claim posted from their self-published zine, and typos. Consequentially 18:20, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

• Undecided I'm all for exposing Nazi thugs, but something about this doesn't seem right. No sources cited; a lot of personal attacks. Above comment is of course correct, notability depends on accurate resources which are not necessarily in themselves notable in the same sense.

• Speedy delete as unsourced and potentially libelous, since it names names. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 20:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
