Pulp and Paper merit badge

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This scouting badge does not seem to meet the general notability guideline, due to a lack of coverage in reliable secondary sources. Anthem 11:56, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Back in 2006, I favored keeping this, but it has not improved. Notability guidelines are now tougher and this article does not have independent reliable sources that show it is notable. We do not seem to have any other articles on merit badges in the US and this is one of the least popular. I do not think we need articles for merit badges, proficiency badges, and the like in every Scouting organisation in the world. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  22:51, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Sorry, but how was this ever allowed to survive before? Of no wider notability than within the BSA - and, as a low popularity award I guess fairly non-notable there too. DiverScout (talk) 20:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
