[edit] Skanke Family Association

Non-notable. Both this article, and the Skanke article, consists of pure fiction. Such a noble family has never existed. Luvente 20:11, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

• Comment What do you make of the half-dozen references? Could you please search a library catalog and verify that the cited literature does not exist? Shalom ^Hello 22:15, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • • • This is not the way it works. No adequate sources are cited. The alleged sources are trash, most of them are published by the non-notable "Skanke Family Association" (i.e., they are original research). The article is bullshit and propaganda, and all the stuff about kings of Man has nothing in this article to do. Even the alleged family does not exist. Skanke is the name of several unrelated families, and they are not the rulers of Man or anywhere else, nor have they any noble or somewhat special origin. Probably the most famous member of one of the families using the name is rally-cross driver and violent Fremskrittspartiet local politican Martin Schanche. Luvente 14:49, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

• • Comment Give me a day and I'll dig up some more sources and reference them in footnotes in the article. This deletion nomination is without any merit at all. How many sources does one need anyway? Its legit. Manxruler 01:12, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to Skanke. The Skanke family may be notable, but the Skanke family association is almost certainly not. The article in question talks almost exclusively about the family, not the association, and almost all of that content is already in the Skanke family article. Danelo 01:56, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Skanke is certainly not notable as such a family as described does not exist. It exists several families which are since more recent times using the name Skanke and none of them are noble or anything special. Luvente 14:51, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
    • That may be the case (I don't know one way or the other), but I was only commenting on the notability of the family association. The topic of the article up for deletion is the Skanke family association, not the Skanke family itself. Danelo 16:19, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Skanke has now been nominated for deletion, so I wouldn't pursue this as an option for the time being. -wizzard2k ^(C-T-D) 18:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. Violates several rules: WP:NOT, WP:OR, etc. Everybody's family has stories. Bearian 00:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete the article was created (through a move action) by an editor that felt it would make Skanke more NPOV. Its not worth being here. Manxruler 19:09, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
