 * Keep Once I did the search on punk house I got 50k hits on many houses and the punk house article does link to this and has the same authors. I'd like to hear more input from punk people before we delete jbolden1517Talk  15:31, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * COMMENT I moved this article to Theta Beta Potatoes, since this is the correct spelling of the frat. I'm now getting 1,000 Google hits, and it looks like this is a legitimate frat, so I'm voting keep. --M @ r ē ino 15:38, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * COMMENT Scrolling through those Google hits shows 77 unique sites, and the vast majority of them are search engine links (spam). (Look through each page of a search for "Theta Beta Potatoes", and nearly all of the content is identical.)  Again, not notable. -- ChrisB 16:52, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep for now, a frat in several midwest Universities is notable. Crazynas 17:15, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

COMMENT - This is not a legitimate fraternity. It is/was a living group at Marquette. There is no evidence that any of the other asserted versions exists, save for the Iowa City house. Article title is faulty, given that the Iowa City venue is "Potata" while the Marquette living group is "Potatoes". Regardless, neither of these is notable, unless we want to start making articles for every college living group and music venue on the planet. -- ChrisB 19:27, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
