Speedy deletion nomination of Columbus Titans


A tag has been placed on Columbus Titans 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 an organization or company, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. red dog six (talk) 00:51, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Status and Advice
You may for all I know be right about the importance of this high school club, but there is no way for us to know it, unless there arep ublished sources to be referenced. I therefore had to delete the article.  DGG ( talk ) 03:13, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

DDG, I can appreciate your position as I am not aware of any specific reference materials that have been published regarding the Titans or other HS fraternities in the Miami era during this period.

During my tenure, I held the office of Parliamentarian and have an original copy of the Titans constitution. There is also a website the was organized by our sometimes rivals, Counts (Delta Epsilon Delta)that relates to the era and I believe this adds some credibility to my purpose.

From a purely historical standpoint, this information should not be lost nor forgotten. I researched the names of former members and was relentless in contacting them. My efforts were rewarded with information, time frames and other anecdotal matter much to surprise.

As mentioned above, the website developed by former members of Counts inspired me to collect this data and post it. I did not want this little piece of history to be lost forever and feel strongly it should be preserved. If you can reconsider and make suggestions as to how I may accomplish this, I am prepared to undertake the challenge. Please remember, the Titans and other fraternities I have written about were well before the computer era, so there is little help in this regard.
