Not notable. Two references are to their own site and youtube; others have 1 brief mention of the organizer giving a quote. Also, possible COI: page was created by Cstalberg which is the name of the group's organizer. HotshotCleaner (talk) 00:15, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A quick scan of the articles shows that apart from the youtube video and press releases, only one of the other three articles references the group and even then only to say that the group was forming. The other two links reference the Blackwater incident and do not mention the group at all. One of the references is hidden behind a paywall. A search did not bring anything reliable up (mostly links to the group and their press releases), leading me to think that this is just a case of WP:EVENT in that the group really only got noticed in connection with this one event (which caused them to form) and have not gotten any substantial coverage since then. I honestly don't even think this would merit a redirect to any of Blackwater's sites since this is just not a notable group.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 19:32, 16 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Agree with Tokyogirl. This doesn't pass WP:GNG. GrainyMagazine (talk) 18:10, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
