BSA Troop 1 Frankfort, Kentucky

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article is completely unsourced, non notable, and speculative. It is about a local Boy Scout troop and per the ScoutingWikiProject's (of which I am coord-emeritus) own guidelines is non notable. I Prod'd this but it was contested.  — Rlevse • Talk  • 11:40, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge into Scouting in Kentucky. Added one source, there isn't much out there and not enough to support a full article.  --Joe Decker (talk) 15:02, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge Well worth noting that this was said to be the first Boy Scout troop in the US, organized through the British organization and predating the Boy Scouts of America, per the one reference. The article Scouting in Kentucky claims that the Burnside scout troop also got its charter from England in 1908 and predates the Frankfort troop's 1909 charter, unless somehow they are the same. More than one ref and more referenced content is needed to have enough content for a stand alone article. If someone can dig out old print newspaper articles in the future and develop the section of Troop 1 it could of course be spun out. I see no basis for inherent notability just because of the claim of primacy (We wuz first!). Edison (talk) 00:13, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge Even significant claims such as this aren't enough to have a standalone article. I've worked for seven years with an Ohio troop that was founded in 1908, but I'm not writing about it.  Nyttend (talk) 11:37, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge into Scouting in Kentucky since individual Boy Scout troops aren't notable. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ • ✐) 15:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
