The Black Hand (UBC)
Unverified, non-notable. Delete. Ardenn 05:27, 16 March 2006 (UTC) As a non-North American this doesn't really figure any lower down the scale of importance or any higher up the scale of vanity than the Rose Bowl Hoax. However, the whole section of practical jokes seems to be very thinly populated with non-notable entries. 217.204.54.229 12:49, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep as it is notable, as it happens to a society with 43,000 members, and considering all the pages in Wikipedia about erelevant flame wars that occur in slashdot and Usenet history, this hacker group is at least as notable. Plus, it has been verified through the newpaper link on the article page. Nick Dillinger 23:08, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it would help if there was a direct link to the Ubyssey ARTICLE that covered the Black Hand, and not just the main site itself (which forces us to look for it ourselves)... -- Buchanan-Hermit™ .. CONTRIBS .. SPEAK! 04:20, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly! Ardenn 04:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The newspaper did not choose to post that photo and caption on their website, though the photo on the cover of the newspaper is clearly of the Black Hand's stunt, consistant with the photos on the page anf in the external links. --Nick Dillinger 20:50, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Front covers change. WP:V, WP:CITE. Ardenn 21:26, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The link to the page, as it currently stands in link [2], is to the archive for that issue. The cover for the paper's homepage has changed, but the link is now for that specific issue.  It can be verified.  Zoom in if neccessary--Nick Dillinger 22:26, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
