 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lacks clear notability, no 3rd party sources, and fails WP:CLUB. Creational edit says that this was deleted some time in the past as well. Maintained by someone close to the organization as per talk page, possible violation of WP:OWN. I propose the article be deleted. ChrisRuvolo (t) 03:03, 31 December 2016 (UTC)


 * The user adding the tag did so after give and take on other pages regarding these tags. I oppose the deletion and removed the tags because the information presented in the article is factual (no evidence that it isn't has been presented) and informational. Since the subject is a subset of a niche hobby, but one of the largest of its kind, there just is not a lot of ways to source it other than to Google the name and link to other random mentions. I will be happy to add these useless links to retain the article if that is what you want. Hope this helps satisfy the desires. N9jig (talk) 04:17, 31 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Don't understand what the problem is.

 * yikes i do not know how to do this...

Hello all, as a member of this club for many years. I find it strange it is getting called out on "notability". This is a simple informational posting about the club. Nothing to fancy, not promoting a for profit something something, just saying this club is out there.

-- I think the goal here is to force more people add content to the wiki and this [deletion request] just forces that to happen. Kind of a strange way to make people add more content to a wiki. Kinda like getting poked with a stick.

So, so be it. I plan on being more involved in adding content. I oppose the deletion   jd

Have a happy/safe new year 01-01-2017 03:20 UTC, 12-31-2016 21:20 local

 * Delete - no evidence of notability - I can't find ANY third party media coverage indicating why this particular club is different from any other group of radio operators. There's also not a single valid keep argument.Timtempleton (talk) 00:19, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete In searching for independent coverage, I have found a book mention,, this , and a Chicago Tribune mention . Probably not enough to be considered significant.  The size of the club helps, but there is just not enough to meet WP:CLUB. MB 03:40, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Good job finding even those - you dug hard.Timtempleton (talk) 18:14, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
