Troop 1 (Boonton)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable locale Scout Troop. Claim for oldest unit in the US is unsourced and rivalled by some other units founded in 1908 (see Oldest Scout Groups).--jergen 05:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * delete per nom-unless sourced as per claim of notability, in which case redirect to Oldest Scout Groups. Scouting WP MoS holds that troops are not inherently notable nor worthy subjects for their own articles. Chris 06:15, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Is the article written, or is it possible for a version of the article to be written, in the majority or in its entirety from material taken from what Wikipedia considers Reliable Sources, which are independant of the group or its members (to prevent possible the problems associated with a conflict of interest while writing a Wikipedia article)? Do these independant, reliable sources demonstrate how this particular group meets any of the various notability inclusion guidelines (for example the one on groups and organisations or the one on people)? Failing that, delete as unable to meet the Wikipedia's verifiability policy. -- saberwyn 06:36, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
