[edit] The Knights of Disorder

If this was about one person, I'd have speedied it. But, noo, it's a group, so we have to go through this. NN. Delete as quickly as possible. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 05:31, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• What policy of Wikipedia does it violate to merit deletion? I've read the guidelines, and I can't find one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elaich (talk • contribs)
  • Hi, Elaich. I apologize for the tone of the nominator; perhaps he's working a little too hard and has forgotten to assume good faith. The issue he raises is that the article doesn't establish notability of the Knights of Disorder, and he implies that it's a vanity article. The article asserts that they are legendary, but we'd need proof of that. Which brings me to the more important criterion: that the material be verifiable. For anything you add in Wikipedia, somebody else should be able to go to the library to confirm it. To aid them in that, you should include citations. I hope that helps! Note that you're encouraged to improve the article during the AfD process; if you can clean it up in short order, the article will be kept. Regards, --William Pietri 06:37, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Totally unverifiable as per verifiability. Not one Google hit for "The Knights of Disorder" Lexington see [1]. As well, they are totally non-notable. These teenage hoodlums once climbed the roof of their high school and spray painted the roof. Teenage delinquency doesn't get any worse than that - it puts the Crips and Bloods in the shade.
