Skull and Bones origins
One of a small number of articles on Skull and Bones that consists largely of unsourced and non-neutral original research. Possible merge to Skull and Bones, but I don't think there's much in here which is sufficiently neutral and well-sourced to be worth merging. Almost certainly part of a POV campaign, like Skull and Bones and U.S. Education. Just zis Guy you know? 10:35, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, article is not verfiable, sourced, and appears to constitute a heavy element of original research.--Isotope23 13:45, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Isotope23 above. Tom Harrison Talk 13:50, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - quiet, so they can't hear you ... SM247 My Talk  23:36, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Another day, another poorly-sourced, highly POV article on S&B. HumbleGod 00:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Did Skull & Bones piss in this guy's cornflakes, or what? -- GWO
 * Save - This is an interesting article. It can be rewritten to focus on the facts that can be supported (e.g., those facts backed up by the Yale archives). Other speculative ideas, or hearsay, can be eliminated or highlighted as such.  Blanket censorship isn't an appropriate answer - there's some truth to every story.  --SG
 * Delete. Hurrah, another Skull and Bones AfD! An article on the origins would be wonderful, if it was based on hard facts. However, this isn't - it's pure speculation - in fact, doesn't even really talk about the origins; it just dances around the topic by discussing the contents of the society's "tomb".
