There are multiple issues on this article including that references are almost entirely made up of reunions, a city site for a city on the community, and some user's local page. The other ones not linked to a paragraph or a sentence don't cut it either. Golden Glades ^{Talk, My master} 01:34, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To add on, if you were to remove every source that is primary, links to self-published websites, or non-reliable websites, this article would be a stub. Golden Glades ^{Talk, My master} 01:49, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article is poorly written and unsourced. However, there are sources out there. This needs to be rewritten, likely from scratch, but I think the subject is notable. AniMate 03:07, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This alone has prompted me to change my retirement status to semi-retired. I'm not leaving permanently, I'll just be noticeably less active on Wikipedia. That said, this is an obvious sock of User:Pickbothmanlol. I'm actually wondering when the user will be classified under WP:LTA. This article has potential. It's been around for about six years, so something must've been done right. Like AniMate said, people within the community always thinks their community is notable. For that reason, I won't be contributing to its cleanup (as I'm not really sure where to begin). -- GSK (talk ● evidence) 04:12, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
