- Delete. There is no way to make this article balanced and accurate with so little information. Also, I recommend that users review the talk page of the article before voting. FnH (talk) 17:29, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: The very first source - "Self-Styled Orders of Chivalry" - says it all. As far as I'm concerned, articles on almost all of these gimcrack "nobles" and "orders" cobbled together by pretenders and other people claiming descent from abolished noble lines are WP:NFT violations. They are almost always self-sourced, "significant coverage" doesn't exist, and the only difference between them and the denizens of Otakon or Comicon is that the cosplayers tend not to really believe they are what their personas claim to be. Fails WP:V, the GNG and any measure of WP:ORG. Wikipedia is not for wannabe "knights" to score some egoboo. Ravenswing 22:42, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete -- The history is said to result from "family tradition": this is not a reliable source. I do not doubt the claims about medieval knights, but there is nothing substantial to link them with the order invented by an Italian noble in 1851.
