The Homerton Blaggards[edit]

School drinking society, no indication of independent notability. NawlinWiki 14:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cambridge University is not a school, and drinking societeies may deserve entries if notorious enough, but this is riddled with inconsistencies which suggest it is a hoax. For a start, if Nick Hancock achieved a first in law (true) in 1976 as stated, he would have been only 14. Hancock is clever, but not that clever! (Nick Hancock (actor) gives details). Secondly, the list of Presidents has Hancock 1976- 1977 and is then empty until 2004. My suspicion is that this club was set up in 2004 and has latched on to a celebrity as a mythical founding father, but in their inebriated state they have failed to research dates properly. So, a new club, non-notable: delete Emeraude 15:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Americans use "school" to refer to university/college Bwithh 01:35, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Student clubs at a single school are almost never notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:11, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Could be speedied as something made up in school one day... Cain Mosni 16:02, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Hoax. Surely Homerton didn't admit Law students in 1976? And it's extremely unlikely that a male drinking society in Homerton is one of the oldest in the Uni (sorry guys, but you're kinda recent, and until recently heavily female)... OK I didn't read the article properly. But it's still not notable! JackyR | Talk 16:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete I just did an extreme reduction of the article[1], as it was a copyvio. It has always had the copyvio content since its very beginning. Let's just get rid of it. EVula 17:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-notable and probably a hoax. WillyWonty 22:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
