Vikings! Of Middle England

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I do not think this quite meets the notability criteria, I can't find coverage at reliable sources which are independent of the subject apart from that provided in the article, most of which would not meet the requirement for significant coverage. The BBC reference might meet that, but I feel that there is not quite enough coverage to meet the 'significant coverage at multiple sources' requirements. I feel that this is possibly going to be controversial, hence going to AfD rather than PRODing  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 18:42, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep I do not think this quite meets the pre-requisites of our deletion policy being part of a drive-by deletion spree made with inadequate research and discussion. Warden (talk) 00:08, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I am the primary contributor to the article. This article has ben reworked to include more references to reliable third party sources, and i'm working on obtaining the exact references for event critique in the UK national re-enactment magazine 'Skirmish.' Previous to these additions I felt that the page was sufficiently referenced, and far more than many other pages on Wikipedia. The group is at lease notable enough that a guardian journalist directly referenced them over ten years ago when they were arguably less well know.
