Order of the Eagle of Georgia and the Seamless Tunic of Our Lord Jesus Christ

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable faux order created by members of a self-appointed Royal House of Georgia. Sourced only to that organization's website and to the article creator's blog. No news hits, no Scholar hits, Google search dominated by Wiki mirrors and heraldry blogs. Fails the GNG. Serious COI, in so far as the article creator claims on his blog to be a "knight" of this order.   Ravenswing   09:01, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Without any intention of sounding peevish, "proclaiming" an order reestablished, then "Knighting" yourself within it are, indeed, serious conflicts of interest - WP:COI (admittedly not the world's strongest rationale). The defunct house from the 13th century may have had significance in that era, but that infamy remains with the defunct house and is not inherited by incarnation of the "new" entity.  Having members who claim prominence of various other active/inactive "houses" does not change the status of the defunct entity.  Would consider this WP:NN until it's currency and notability as vested can be distinctly providen.  Basically what I'm saying is they may be trying to reestablish the name, but the history does not transfer to contemporary times just because someone wanted to recreate it today.  It would be no more valid than calling yourself a "Knight's Templar", finding people who can attest that there were some long ago, buying a plot of land by the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and then self-Knighting/anointing to currency.
