Subject fails WP:ORG and WP:GNG. Unsourced article fails WP:V. -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:01, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. This might be a notable organization, but the article has zero sources so far. In addition, the article claims that Daniel David Palmer was among the founders of the fraternity in 1961, although by then he had been dead for 48 years. If sources are added to support the content of the article, I would consider changing my recommendation. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:26, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - Pi Kappa Chi claims it was founded in 1961 by David D. Palmer. David D. Palmer died in 1913. The fraternity is likely a hoax. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 04:43, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - David D. Palmer is the grandson of Daniel David Palmer. So the grandson is the founder and he died in 1978, not 1913. I found some sources that mention Pi Kappa Chi, so I don't believe it's a hoax. Dr. Lessenco was a member of Pi Kappa Chi chiropractic fraternity..., he became a member of Pi Kappa Chi, a chiropractic fraternity, Logan University-College of Chiropractic, Most popular organizations: Pi Kappa Chi.... Doesn't seem to be notable for anything other than existing though.-- Isaidnoway (talk)  14:48, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * User:Isaidnoway, David D. Palmer is not the grandson of Daniel David Palmer. David D. Palmer is Daniel David Palmer. The grandson is B. J. Palmer who died on May 27, 1961. The website claims it was founded by in 1961 by Dr. David D. Palmer along with a handful of focused young men. It is a hoax. It was added here. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 17:42, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It looks like you linked to the same site that I did, which clearly says in the lead paragraph: In many ways, the early history of chiropractic is the history of three generations of Palmers. Daniel David Palmer, usually called D.D.; his son, Bartlett Joshua Palmer, called B.J.; Mabel Heath Palmer, B.J.'s wife; and B.J. and Mabel's son, David D. Palmer, often called Dr. Dave. And then if you scroll further down, it also clearly says David D. Palmer, the grandson of chiropractic's founder. And then there is this source which identifies B.J. as the son, Whatever else may be said about the founder, D.D. Palmer, and son, B.J. and this one which identifies David D. Palmer as the grandson of D.D., both had passed away by the time D.D.'s grandson, David D. Palmer, So I don't understand exactly what the "hoax" is here, can you explain?-- Isaidnoway (talk)  18:27, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
