Troop 587[edit]

Some Boy Scout troops might be notable - maybe. However, this one makes no such assertion. A group of fifteen boys needs something else to be encyclopedic. CDC (talk) 16:49, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The intent was to expand the article, and to include over time other troops that are notable, both for their contributions to their community and their history. This was simply the first as it was one I was associated with, and it would have been expanded with relevant information. I've seen a great many frivolous entries about obscure pop culture, this at least would provide the history of a particular troop should someone be interested.

Delete or "userfy." Suggest contributor create an account and "userfy" the article (move it into his user space), and work up an article on notable North Carolina troops, in his user space, creating the article itself only when it is reasonably complete and makes it clear what notable things the troops have accomplished. I would also note that the current entry has nothing in it enabling it to be easily verified; it should include links or other source citations that would enable it easy for any curious reader to verify the information in it.

Delete. Not notable enough for an encyclopedia. AndyJones 18:36, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom. Not really encyclopedic if there's nothing special they've done. --DanielCD 22:15, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Agree with above reasons. -Hoekenheef 22:26, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I would need a lot more evidence to be convinced that any individual scout troop was notable. --Metropolitan90 02:11, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
