If this is a notable organization, the sources don't show it. Virtually every reference in the article is a self-publication, and the list of "notable" member is mostly red-links or no-links. BD2412 T 00:29, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I don't have a problem with this article. While more references would be helpful, the external references that note establishment and continuing existence are valid. Groove Phi Groove has far more than ten years of existence and far more than three chapters, thus meets the bar of notability followed by the Fraternity and Sorority Project. Therefore I support keeping it. Jax MN (talk) 19:23, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I definitely agree that the notable list needs to be trimmed and fixed, but that's different than an AFD consideration. I think "Black Greek-letter Organizations in the Twenty-First Century" can be used as somewhat of a reference, though I'd love to get my hands on "Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship, Inc. Black & White Works The First 50 Years: 1962 - 2012", even if it would count as a primary source.Naraht (talk) 20:50, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • BD2412 I believe that my recent changes represent an improvement. Don't know what to do with the authors in the notable member list, would appreciate someone else trimming (or nuking) that section.Naraht (talk) 16:49, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I am still concerned that the article relies massively on self-published sources, and the organization's own claims about itself. BD2412 T 04:14, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
