Article has been tagged for years. There is no inherent notability in this line of business, there are no reliable secondary sources attesting to the importance of the organization--nor can I find any. Not notable by our standards. Drmies (talk) 01:04, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Would an emeritus Professor of Criminal Justice at Eastern Kentucky University suffice? ☺ Uncle G (talk) 13:14, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmm I'd rather have a set of articles and book chapters from reliable sources providing in-depth discussion of the subject. Or, barring that, a box of Merci chocolates. Drmies (talk) 03:07, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – Below are some sources and access to sources:

• Here is an entire 288-page book about the Boozefighters, published by Motorbooks, which is an imprint of The Quarto Group
• Here are five pages that covers the organization here and there, along with conveying information about other clubs, in Biker Gangs and Organized Crime, published by Elsevier Science
• As These search results indicate, the Boozefighters have received coverage in a lot of different books.
• Per these search results at Google News Archive, the organization has received a fair amount of press coverage through the years

It would take some time to go through each book and news source from these search results to discern the level of coverage in each one, and whether or not it is significant or below the threshold of significant coverage. This is due in part to preview availability being inconsistent at times. Hence my commenting here at this time, rather than !voting. Any takers? "What do you got?

• Keep First page of search gets an Amazon link to that 288 page book [1], I'm in. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:23, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
