Speedy deletion nomination of Order of the Elm and Key


A tag has been placed on Order of the Elm and Key requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Safiel (talk) 05:33, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Please do come by the discussion, and participate as you see fit. A challenge you face in documenting a secret society in Wikipedia is that the encyclopedia needs to have reliable third-party sources for articles, and in fact requires that a topic be covered by independent published sources in order to get an article. That creates an interesting paradox for any secret society that truly is secret. However, you apparently know of sources, so if you join the discussion you may be able to help find a reason to keep the article. --Orlady (talk) 02:57, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
