Cameron Crazies

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article concerns a loose affiliation of fans of Duke Blue Devils men's basketball. The only claim of notability seems to stem from an online ESPN column that referred to them as the rowdiest fans in the land. Aside from stating that they are indeed fans of Duke's teams, and that they are in fact rowdy, this stub has absolutely no purpose or encyclopedic worth. It's composed of one paragraph of casual observation and two links to sports publications acknowledging their existence. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 20:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Duke Blue Devils men's basketball. Generally fan organizations are covered in the article about the team that they are fans of. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:44, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge - probably the most well known fan section in the United States. Still probably not anything that can't be mentioned in Duke Blue Devils men's basketball either --T-rex 03:43, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep (without prejudice to merging) - If any fan section deserves an article it's Duke's. 43.5K Ghits to "cameron crazies" And 2,300 in Google News specifically. de Bivort 08:31, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - there is more media attention on the Cameron Crazies than one specific article. There are also plenty of other examples of basketball student sections.  But, yeah, there are almost 44,000 google hits for Cameron Crazies...I think the article can be given additional sourcing without too much trouble. matt91486 (talk) 20:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into Duke Blue Devils men's basketball. This is an OK article, but it would look even better in the other article. Someone might need to slim it down, or not. Mm40 (talk | contribs) 15:16, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Sources are trivially easy to find. There are already a couple cited in the article. Far more obscure fan groups have been kept at AFD in the past; see Articles for deletion/Oakland Zoo (cheering section). Zagalejo^^^ 18:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
