Delete. There is one Society Of St. Mary Magdalene founded by a Fr. Bernard, but they don't mention any LGBT equality as their core believes. Delete as non-notable, biased entry (see author's username). De728631 (talk) 15:23, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete, db-group, either non-notable or invented, supposed leader matches article creator's username. Hairhorn (talk) 15:40, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete, this seems to be a hoax invented by the author. As noted, no sources exist and user names himself as SSMM leader so presumably joke/self-pub. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:28, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as hoax, or something made up one day. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 18:32, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. A Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/FatherBenet/info gives more information about the group that appears to be consistent with an earlier version of the article. It gives a location in Wales (Abermule, SY15 6NW) and a link to a website http://www.societyofstmarymagdalene.co.uk/ that turns out to be under construction. It sounds like it is a bit more than something made up one day, but only marginally so. A whois search for the domain gives a different location in Wales.

Delete. Seems to be created in good faith, but does not assert notability as an organisation. No objection to speedy deletion under WP:CSD#A7, although I see no need to hurry. – Fayenatic L (talk) 16:44, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete under criteria A7. I've gone ahead and tagged the article as such. No use going through the remainder of the AFD process for an obvious case. Rorshacma (talk) 18:08, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
