I've added a few sources from newspapers and the Dedham Historical Society. This should show that the Society, and its Wikipedia article, are not hoaxes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Briancua (talk • contribs)
- That's good to know. Now we need sources to show that this organization has sufficient notability for inclusion in Wikipedia. The fact that it exists really isn't enough. Replies should to this should probably go to the article's AfD page. Rklawton 16:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Claiming various popes and presidents as members of this is an inside joke. It is far from accurate as portrayed in this article and very unencyclopedic. It gives credence to the idea that the entire organization is just someone's idea of a joke. Can anyone cite any sources indicating which popes and presidents are members - any source that isn't just a self-reference? Rklawton 00:54, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- Sure. Its already referenced in the article, but you can find the link here. --01:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

editI am hesitant to spend any time on this because it seems like the article might be deleted but the advertisement used to support the bank account claim is NOT a valid source.--Dmz5 04:12, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- Also please provide a source for the presidents claim that does not require a paid subscription to a newspaper's archive.--Dmz5 04:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
