Unable to locate any significant reliable source to back any of the claims made in the completely uncited article. I am unable to locate anything to establish notability for Wikipedia. Unfortunately the search term, "Eyes of Texas" turns up many links to other thing that are not related to this society, so it is difficult to filter and I could be persuaded to remove the nomination if significant reliable source coverage were discovered.

- comment - try a search for (what seems to be) their primary award: Eyes of Texas Excellence Award, no comment as to if it makes them WP:Notable. Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 18:02, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. It seems like the group is real, but called "anonymous" not "secret" by the sources. It and the award could also be mentioned in the main article The Eyes of Texas. I don't think there is enough information on the group for its own article, plus the other article gives context. Kitfoxxe (talk) 16:44, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, no evidence of notability provided. Article creator removed unreferenced tag without actually supplying references.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:38, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - non notable organisation. fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:54, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete no evidence, also see The Eyes of Texas. Kitfoxxe (talk) 23:18, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and comment-I agree with deleting the page, however the society needs to be mentioned in The Eyes of Texas page. It does have a number of references that lead me to believe it should be included in the general page. It also is a collegiate secret society by definition and was implicated in a large scandal at UT. That being said, if you delete this page, please take the information given and create a subsection on the other page.Theseus1776 (talk) 14:17, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I note that the above-mentioned scandal does receive significant Wiki-coverage in the Lance Kennedy article, so adding another section on it to the main Eyes of Texas page might be redundant.Ebikeguy (talk) 15:05, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - No evidence of notability present in article or forthcoming during a news search. Perhaps this is a common problem for entities that wish to remain secret? In any case, Wikipedia should contribute to the secretive nature of this group, IMHO. Ebikeguy (talk) 23:16, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
