Worried that this is not notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia -- MOE.RON ^{talk | done | doing} 20:23, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I started this page because it was a red link in Live action roleplaying game (which incidentally needs some serious spam cleanup) as the Guild is apparently important in the history of LARPing in the US. Disclosure: I am a member of the Assassins' Guild. moink 21:21, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: that importance in history has since been moved to History of live role-playing

• Comment Possibly notable, but the current article makes no mention of why it would be. if this was one of the first LARP groups, the article needs to say so. Ace of Sevens 21:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per Moeron. It's a bunch of students that get together and play games. Sounds fun, but not encyclopedic. -- Kjkolb 22:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• The group's motto is "To Err is Human... To Forgive is not our policy." The author erred by failing to establish notability, we should not forgive. Delete. (Disclosure, I am a former member, was on the committee running Patrol for four years, and was a gamemaster of Shadows of the Past a ten day games.) GRBerry 01:00, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This certainly doesn't meet {{db-club}} standards, but it's also certainly non-notable. -- Kicking222 02:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, but lets not kick the newcomers too hard. -- GWO

  That made me giggle. Don't worry, I'm not a newcomer, and I'm pretty resistant to biting. Intent appreciated, though. moink 17:48, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete yet another MIT student club - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 17:45, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. According to the LARP page, this group popularized the "assassin game". Isopropyl 18:28, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
