[edit] The Eulenspiegel Society

The Eulenspiegel Society (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Given the lack of any third-party, reliable sources, I don't believe that a claimed membership of 800 is enough to meet the notability criteria of WP:ORG. RJASE1 Talk 00:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete fails WP:ORG, WP:ATT, and contains weasel words. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 00:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Keep and cleanup per [[User:Reinoutr|Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr's)] link below. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 22:13, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Potential keep, needs sources. Google News Archive results such as this show it has an international profile. (How is the number of members relevant to notability, anyway?) Within this societal niche they seem to have a lot of credibility. --Dhartung | Talk 00:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • weak keep since it is sourced--somewhat to my surprise. I never heard that weasel words was a reason to delete an article. It may be the only way to stay within the limits of V. DGG 01:41, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
    • I mentioned weasel words only to list some of the multiple things wrong with it. It still doesn't have any sources besides the group's homepage. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 04:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is an important organization in the history of sexual minorities. Sources should be findable. In fact, I know someone who might know just where to find those sources, so I'd urge you not to delete the article right now. DoorsAjar 06:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, is covered a lot in a variety of books dealing with BDSM: [1]. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 15:02, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Cpt. Morgan. I added a minor source. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Noroton (talk • contribs) 01:38, 29 March 2007 (UTC).
