[edit] West Virginia Ghost Hunters

West Virginia Ghost Hunters (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This article is about a fairly non-notable paranormal investigation group in West Virginia. I had originally tagged it as {{db-group}} but the author, Wvghosthunters (talk · contribs) (an example of a conflict of interest) has contested this. As of right now, the only references for this article are the website of the group itself and it's page on Alexa, of which it has a ranking of 366,978. It's "claims to fame" is that it has worked with The Atlantic Paranormal Society on the Sci Fi Channel program Ghost Hunters and as part of the Travel Channel's Weird Travels program.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:26, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. I de-speedied this as notability asserted, but I definately think it should go. ViridaeTalk 22:35, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:V and WP:RS. Cannot find anything to verify notability. Just a long list of freewebs, blogs, and boards. Bubba hotep 22:40, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Notability: a couple of appearances on TV shows doesn't quite make the grade. I've been on a couple of TV shows expressing a point of view, but I certainly don't qualify for an article. We need to see why these guys are more notable than any other scooby gang. WMMartin 18:06, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:V and WP:RS. The ghost hunting craze has driven many such hobbyist orgs (and individuals who are self-proclaimed "paranormal researchers") into a frenzy of self-publicity. This group is just one of many exploring WP as a means to self-publicize. See also CASPR --- LuckyLouie 23:26, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
