[edit] Deletion of the "Omega Psi Phi brothers" page
I would like some further explanation to why the list of notable Omega Psi Phi men was deleted? In the debate discussions on the talk page, fraternity membership was deeemed irrelevant. However in the case of an organization such as Omega Psi Phi which is a historically black fraternity, men who have had promiment impacts on society are revered for their membership in this organization.
The page should be returned or a list of notable members should be made available on the main page for the fraternity. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.181.114.171 (talk) 17:22, 15 May 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Membership
We need reliable references that show each of these people has been a member of the fraternity, or we'll need to delete them. Newspaper articles or biographies that we can expect to have been fact checked would probably be good sources. -- SiobhanHansa 13:37, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Brands
I'm surprised there's no reference to the Omega brand you often see on brothers. I'm sure it's not sanctioned by their HQ, but it seems to be a large part of their tradition ... anyone think it should be added? Jrssr5 14:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Kind of original researchish. Miranda 17:23, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I dunno, seems like a stretch to me to categorize it under OR, but I could be wrong. Here's an article I found about it ... couple years old, but still interesting. Jrssr5 18:42, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Some members in all NPHC organizations, not just Omegas have brandings (this is from a personal observation). Not all members have to have them, and this isn't required by national headquarters. In my opinion, this doesn't need to be incorporated into the article, because it's trivial. If this article wants to be FA standard, then look at Alpha Phi Alpha as an example. Cheers.

- Right, I didn't mean to imply it was required at all, just a seemed like an important part of their tradition. Jrssr5 17:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

- I think some information on the brands should be in this article because it's definitely a part of their tradition and how Omegas and others recognize members of the group. The above linked article is correct when one individual states "I learned about the fraternity by seeing a brand". Information used from the linked article or other verifiable sources would not be considered original research. The Delta Sigma Theta article mentions Elephants as the unofficial mascot because this is a part of the groups culture and tradtion. I believe the Kappas mostly have tattoos, although some have brands.--Ccson 22:56, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
