RfC: This article is a hoax.

Obviously this page is a fraud, and there is no such society. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.133.127.112 (talk) 01:49, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

I challenge ANYONE to come up with a reference to this organization prior to this article http://nyunews.com/2007/02/21/10/ presumably it is a hoax committed by NYU's dean of arts and sciences, who issues the invitations to join.129.133.127.112 (talk) 01:57, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

• RFC Comment: I think the issue here is whether the "society" is notable enough to merit its own article on Wikipedia. Without other sources than the ones now used, I'd say it isn't. See WP:AFD on how to proceed. --Dailycare (talk) 18:08, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

If it's a hoax, it doesn't need that process. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.133.127.112 (talk) 07:03, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

What about this link [1]? According to Google its from 1922, but I never trust them to get it right. Maybe worth checking out. --Jan Onbekend (talk) 04:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC) P.S.: Also: This [2] seems to be a reference in the university's newspaper of 1898.

Keep. Obviously this article is not a "hoax" - I challenge ANYONE to look up the meaning of hoax in a dictionary. This is an article about a secret society at NYU and it does exist. Many people at NYU know members and anyone who has attended an NYU commencement or any graduation-week NYU activities will have seen the members with pin as depicted in the image file on the page. Wikipedia has articles on Skull and Bones and Cloak and Dagger, etc. Why are there people who keep going out of their way to try to get this article removed/deleted? If the presence of this article offends you, I have a suggestion for you: Don't read it. The fact that many different users have edited it, and that it has been included in the main NYU portal (or whatever the template at the bottom is that has the collection of links) without controversy should be testament enough to its veracity.

Furthermore, I just checked the anonymous IP user's edits and he/she/it is very active exclusively on pages about college secret societies. I think this person has some sort of contention with their existence, or at least is biased in some way. Not an impartial user who wants this page deleted. JesseRafe (talk) 12:31, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
