Contested PROD. Sourced mostly to the militia's own website. Not enough independent sourcing to establish notability. GorillaWarfare (talk) 03:31, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sources used in article do not establish notability and the promotional tone of the current article is due to reliance on the group's own website. Obviously this is a highly controversial topic area (private militias, armed groups, etc) and it is paramount to have sufficient sources that are both reliable and verifiable. It doesn't appear that these criteria are able to be met. Laval (talk) 10:56, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I support deletion of this article. At present it lacks a sufficient number of reliable secondary sources to support the statements being made. If someone can find adequate secondary sources, I might change my mind. Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 01:58, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this article need for deletion? They appear to have references and it looks like this group exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.194.165.240 (talk) 01:54, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
See the nomination statement—Wikipedia has a notability policy that requires substantial coverage in independent sources. This group does not have that. GorillaWarfare (talk) 02:00, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
