 * Keep, enough sources now provided to pass WP:ORG. Hut 8.5 14:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: Just another boffer LARP. Do we have any sources that aren't student newspapers?  "Organizations whose activities are local in scope are usually not notable unless verifiable information from reliable independent sources can be found."


 * Keep: the organization appears to have existed for some time, and has been commented on from various sources. Both are good arguments for a keep. Maury 16:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The sources added seem to consist of those that do not possess the kind of fact checking required by WP:RS, such as student newspapers. --Eyrian 16:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per concerns raised in Articles for deletion/Belegarth. This is not a G4 candidate, however. --Core desat 22:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


 * With all due respect, articles from Illinois, Minnesota, Tennessee,Ohio, Iowa, and Idaho is not exactly local in scope. Further, at the very least, the Daily Chronicle is not a student newspaper.  In addition, there is video footage of Belegarth as the Nashville Kats arena football game.  It can be found at http://www.cherrytap.com/stashEntry.php?stashId=227833.  I don't think most boffer Larps play as halftime shows.  Finally, Belegarth was recently published in Games Magazine on page 65 of their April 2007 edition.  It is my understanding that Games Magazine is a heavily subscribed physical magazine.  You can at least see Belegarth is listed at http://www.kappapublishing.com/games/indexApr07.html.  If I knew how to cite a physical copy, I would. Sentineneve 07:15, 14 April 2007 (UTC)


 * There. Also added a link from Fox news. They may not all be reliable, but surely are enough sources to at least get past a notability claim. Sentineneve 07:45, 14 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - a search of the google news archives, http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=belegarth&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&tab=wn, shows citations in Fox News, the Plain Dealer, the Hartford Courant, the Tennessean, and the Salt Lake Tribune, which clearly meets WP:ORG and WP:RS.
