- ... new enough, long enough, no copyvio issues, hook is interesting and clearly in article with a following citation to a reference stating the hook fact. QPQ to be provided. Hook appears okay for last slot or 1 April. Please ping me when QPQ done. Thank you. Whispyhistory (talk) 06:02, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- In my opinion, the Odd Fellows are sufficiently known that this would not be good for April Fools' Day. But maybe that's just me. If this does go through for AFD, then it should be lower case: odd fellow. Otherwise, it would be fine for a "quirky". MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:45, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Unreliable source
editWhat makes the "Strangest Names in American Political History" blog reliable? Mucube (talk) 04:32, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- WP:BLOG says that
Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications.
– It appears that the author of the blog is, oddly, a "subject-matter expert" in weird political names – blog articles by him have been cited by several reliable publications, such as Washington.edu, UConn.edu, Richmond.edu, the Pennsylvania General Assembly website, and others. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:45, 29 November 2022 (UTC)- I would cite the newspapers directly, instead of using the blog because the information there seems to be taken from the newspaper articles that you cite in the article already.
