[edit] Zombie Squad

This article was originally AfD'ed last year here, resulting in its deletion. This new incarnation is expanded, and has one new somewhat reliable source, so it probably deserves another go through AfD. Nevertheless, I don't think notability is established by the one newspaper mention, so Delete. Xoloz 15:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

So do we need a formal vote count tomorrow? --BenWoodruff 19:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep - Looks like a good amount of content and somebody put some work into the page. I think its on the verge and I like to assume good faith, and err on side of caution. Let the article stay. Chris Kreider 15:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - This is an organization with actual community service in 2 countries. Give this article at least 3 weeks to see what happens. --BenWoodruff 15:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• No vote yet Going strictly by what's in the article, they appear to be notable: an organisation with chapters in several states, and working with several major and respected charities. Surely the media has covered their activities and if references are added to the article, I'll be happy to vote strong keep on this one. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - I may be biased but I have been to a number of their events and they have a ton of fans that drive from all over for their "Zombie Survival" disaster preparation seminars, Blood Drives, Fundraiser Events, Can Food Drives, and disaster volunteering after a crisis. If you want an interview with a Rep in your town or want a reference from the many charities they regularly work with give them a call 1-888-495-4052 Most of their work is through events offline so you might not find a lot of web articles about them but, hell, just type in "Zombie Squad" in Google or Technorati. Check out these pics from Zombie Con 2006 and Zombie Con 2005. They even sponsor a few paintball teams around the country. I'm not sure what sort of proof you guys need. --Damnuzombies 16:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - This article has five external sources cited that I can see, two of which are obviously notable enough to have their own articles. There are plenty of articles with fewer sources. Looks great for only being up for five days: (Oct 22-26). - Thingsbreak 16:45, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - I am the creator of this article. Notable places where they have mentioned include River Front Times, Webster University Journal, Rue Morgue Magazine, and St. Louis Magazine. There are other sources, but they may or may not considered notable. SkinnyZan 16:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - I saw their website mentioned on G4 'Attack of the Show' last year. That probably gives a little credibility.
  • Do you have a link for this? When last year was this shown? Also, you might want to sign your posts, otherwise you're not really adding any credibility. Damnuzombies 17:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - It's a real charitable organization. They have papers to prove it. -- THEBlunderbuss 21:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Well-written, amusing, and informative. ♠PMC♠ 21:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 10:58, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Seems notable enough. --Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs} 18:23, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
