Knights Templar in Scotland
Subject fails to meet the relevant notability guideline. No one need article about extinct order in one country. With this direction there can be "Knights Templar in Ireland", or "Order of St. Stanislaus in Sweden". Yopie 01:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep. As a contributor to the article I have grown to appreciate its importance as a parallel to Knights Templar in England (is this to be deleted as well?). No history of the medieval order would be complete without a note of the important presence of the Knights Templar in Scotland, where, due to the excommunicated status of the nation they survived, as they did in Spain and Portugal, leading ultimately to the modern revivals worldwide, for whom the activity in Scotland holds a particular interest.  I am not able to follow Yopie (talk • contribs)'s arguments for deletion, but perhaps it is no coincidence that he placed WP:AfD on this article after the deletion of his own article Pseudo-orders 1 hour earlier (deletion log archived discussion) which he seemed to see as produced by some sort of Knights Templar Conspiracy? --Steve Zissou (talk) 17:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Steve's reasons are good enough. There has to be a better reason to put up an established article for WP:AfD. --Frank Ness (talk) 21:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. This should not have been marked for WP:AfD (even though it was not done properly by Yopie (talk • contribs) --Sannhet (talk) 21:07, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
