Rumored organization. Likely hoax. No sources offered, and I can't find any ghits. —teb728 t c 05:54, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree, this is probably a hoax. If the group was "noteworthy for..." all the things the article stated, then there would be some news article somewhere, or some reference. Since there are no references in the article, since google finds nothing, since a news search finds nothing... delete. In fact, I'd advocate for Speedy Delete, the article's author's objections and bald assertion of notability notwithstanding. Fieari (talk) 06:05, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article reminds me of some of the articles that came up for AfD around the time I became active in Wikipedia -- articles about mysterious groups whose activities were so secretive that no sources could be found. Those articles invariably got deleted. And this one should be, too, per WP:GNG and WP:ORG. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:27, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article is about a (quoting from article) worldwide motorcycle club with no known bases, members consist of an affiliation of anonymous riders who communicate either through message boards or secret mailing lists. It further enlightens that common nicknames for the club members are "Fags" and "Anons". In addition, it generally condemns attempts of branding but unfortunately someone created a Wikipedia article. The existence of chapters has been reported all across the globe but I suspect these reports exist only on that secret mailing list. The Commonwealth MC was started by anonymous individuals on an enthusiast image board and I think it should remain on that image board. Doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Delete this hoax. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:31, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete At the best, it is not notable with no sources in the article and no Google hits I could find. At the worst, it is a complete hoax, an I have tagged it as such. Also, is there a chance that 84.220.173.249 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) (who removed the CSD) is actually Loric0110, who wrote the article? — crh ₂₃ (Talk) 09:50, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article was created by Alvaren1762 and then edited by Loric0110 both of whom are SPAs. Socking going on here. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 14:52, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and above discussion. This unreferenced article does not seem to be verifiable. --Dcirovic (talk) 11:26, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above discussion as obvious hoax. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 15:14, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
