Dark Alliance
Normally we delete secret societies because their secrecy makes them unverifiable. In this case there is one twist that might make a difference: the comment that many prominent people have been accused of being members; the accusations would be verifiable. However, there are no examples of accused prominent people in the article currently. Google gets swamped with alternate meanings for "Dark Alliance" when I try to check so I can't prove this is a commonly referenced secret 'society'. If we can't document the accusations of membership in this organization then it should be deleted. RJFJR 02:42, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unverifiable, likely hoax. I don't believe even such accusations would be encyclopedic. A &#1080; D &#1103; 01D  TALK  EMAIL  02:54, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Nearly every google hit for "Dark alliance" + freemasonry is for websites dealing with a series of articles on crack cocaine done by the San Jose Mercury News entitled 'Dark Alliance' or for websites dealing with conspiracy theories. The only website I could find that in any way dealt with a group of Freemasons called Dark Alliance is this: http://www.media.org.hk/messageboard/asp/ctv001/title1.asp?Page=3 however it is in Cantonese so I dont know what it says. Im almost 100% this is a hoax. -CunningLinguist 03:10, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Article is too vague ("many high profile individuals") and does not assert notability. michael 03:21, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
