Enigmatical Sorority of Van Diemen
No sources given; no Google hits on "Enigmatical Sorority", let alone "Enigmatical Sorority of Van Dieman." Delete unless good verifiable sources are provided and verified. No indication presented of encyclopedic significance; Wikipedia articles are not genealogical entries. The lack of verifiable sources could lead a reader to infer that the article might be a prank or hoax. The editor who created the article added it to the article on Secret societies (see the history; I removed the entry), indicating that he considers it to be a secret society. Wikipedia only contains material that is verifiable which means that articles on truly secret societies, i.e. societies for which no public, verifiable information exists, must be deleted.

 * Delete as likely hoax - Van Diemen is a notable road racing formula and sports racing chassis constructor. FCYTravis 02:05, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah. Thanks. I assumed it had something to do with Van Diemen's Land... which, I see from our article, wasn't called that until 1803... Dpbsmith (talk) 02:16, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as hoax. My dictionary tells me that a sorority is an association of women. Theres alot of men in this one, but maybe thats why its enigmatic(al). Hamster Sandwich 04:52, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
