Virginia Knights Militia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I didn't notice this when I created Articles for deletion/Mike Dunn (political activist), and people have already voted there, or else I'd have bundled them. This also relied on extremely shaky sources (mostly News2Share and articles with brief mentions of the group in other sources). It also seems to be being used as a way to beef up Mike Dunn's notability, describing him as a "thought leader in the [boogaloo] movement by sources such as Vice Media Group" despite the fact that the source says no such thing.

The creator of the page appears to have a bit of a COI with Dunn, and has apparently been using Dunn's statements as "sources" in the pages. See Talk:Mike Dunn (political activist) and the description on File:Mike_Dunn.jpg. GorillaWarfare (talk) 18:52, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - I cannot find any reliable sources covering the group, let alone any with in depth discussion. This local news piece does mention them. But that hardly establishes notability. Otherwise, I'm seeing lots of vague references (and references in tags to blog articles where they are not mentioned in the body) and links to reddit and other unreliable sites. Hopefully googling the group didn't put me on any watchlists.  ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia  talk  21:00, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per El Cid. After conducting my own search, I do not believe there is enough in-depth coverage to meet notability requirements. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 02:56, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
