The New Confederacy

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

In my opinion the article is an attempt at self promoting a non-notable political organization. The editor who appears to have created the article, is mentioned in the article as having apparently founded the organization, in my opinion a violation of the policies regarding neutrality. A Google search returns nine hits, seven of which are blog entries, one link page, plus the Wikipedia article, a LexisNexis Academic search returns zero. This suggests to me a non-notable organization and at least not yet, an appropriate subject for an article in the encyclopedia. Deconstructhis (talk) 20:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete – Could find no reliable sources, in fact could not find any, concerning the organization. Sorry to say, without at least minimal coverage from ANY reliable – creditable and verifiable source, the article should be deleted.  ShoesssS Talk 21:05, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Interesting, but no evidence of notability. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, appears to be little more than a spark from someone's imagination at this point. Powers T 00:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unless sources can be found. Edward321 (talk) 00:10, 25 November 2008 (UTC
 * Explanation - I merely submitted background on this as the organizer of New Confederacy, simply because, and only because, someone else created an empty link in, I believe, the artcle concerning "Neo-Confederates" or something related to it. I did a fairly exhaustive search of this term, and discovered the person who created the empty link to us meant us and not someone else. Then I submitted a brief article describing what New Confederacy was. Otherwise, I would not have gone through the trouble of submitting the article. I still haven't yet even submitted a link in New Confederacy for myself, as I do not believe it is proper for an article to be originated by the subject person of the article. Should this be determined to NOT be appropriate for Wiki, I will not contest it, HOWEVER, I would request that if the article is deleted then ALL LINKS in Wiki to our organization also be deleted as well. We never asked to be counted as "Neo-Confederates" and frankly, I don't believe we belong in a grouping of people the author of THAT article is determining to automatically be racist, which most pro-Confederacy people are not.

 * I see no reason not to remove that link from the Neo-Confederate article; the description of The New Confederacy as Neo-Confederate, while seemingly obvious on the surface, is explicitly not sourced. Powers T 02:31, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete As author of the page, and seeing the opinions of the group, I now concur that the article should be deleted, and fully consent to same. Although we have more activity than is apparent on the net, I concur that we have not broken the threshold for 'notability', I 'wish' that were not so, but objectively, it is so. The link in Neo-Confederate has already been removed... the listing required someone 'accuse' us of deserving to be in that list, but no one is listed as having so accused us.Lizmichael (talk) 03:54, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
