[edit] Rit corner crew
- Delete. You've got to be kidding me. This is worse than even the stupid gaming clans. Non-notable vanity. And yes, I am an alumnus, but this kind of crap makes me ashamed to admit it. ChrisRuvolo (t) 21:19, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not notable, especially the "Cheers" section. Tokakeke 21:26, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per above. - Wezzo 21:32, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep or merge somewhere. -- JJay 22:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Can you clarify your reasoning as to why you think this is worth keeping? Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 23:59, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Maybe because I'm not an Alum I'm not biased. -- JJay 01:24, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

- The RIT corner crew has gotten lots of press coverage and has been a fixture at the hockey games for over 22 years. This is the only game in town in Rochester. Why you do not address these issues is beyond me. If it bothers you that much, merge the pertinent bits into RIT. -- JJay 19:31, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Lots of press coverage? "RIT corner crew" only appears 330 times on the internet, according to Google. [1]. Please cite some of these numerous mentions in the press. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 03:40, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- The best news report I've found so far was the feature profile and history of the crew- Fan-demonium at RIT. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (NY). February 12, 1999. Page 1D. Of course, as you know, the group is also frequently mentioned in coverage of Tigers games and shown on TV. A more recent mention is available here [2]-- JJay 04:17, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

- Merge somewhere or keep, JJay has shown it gets some attention. Kappa 05:32, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I might have been persuaded to Merge it into something having to due with RIT, but not after the conversation above. Being mentioned in a newspaper or just showing up isn't enough to be notable. Some similiar instances where fan clubs of sports teams are notable can be found at Royal Rooters or Dawg Pound. If this survives, I look foward to Random group of people with foam fingers. karmafist 20:10, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
