A group that appears to fails both the WP:GNG and WP:NORG. There are no sources currently being utilized in the article. I searched for additional sources, both under its current name and its original name, and essentially found nothing in reliable, secondary sources. Its only claim to notability in the article is that several of its ex-members went on to do notable things themselves, but notability is not inherited, so that does not contribute to notability of the group. It survived a prior AFD way back in 2006, but the argument for Keep was largely based on Google hits, which is not a valid rationale for notability. Rorshacma (talk) 22:33, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

- Note to closer for soft deletion: While this discussion appears to have no quorum, it is NOT eligible for soft deletion because it was previously undeleted (May 15, 2007). --Cewbot (talk) 00:02, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

- @Cewbot: a restored speedy deletion does not prevent SOFTDELETE. However I took your comment to be an objection to such an action so I relisted. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:28, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It had no meaningful hits in Google Books and News searches despite being a contemporaneous org associated with the English language. There are no worthwhile redirect targets. If someone finds more (non-English and offline) sources, please {{ping}} me. re: soft deletion above, started a discussion at WP:PROD but it wouldn't be eligible either way because the subject had a prior AfD (albeit under a former name). czar 04:49, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete- This is a badly sourced article about a non-notable club. The sources that it does have are primary, or tangential. Reyk YO! 08:27, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
