This is a fictional organization that doesn't seem to have received significant coverage and especially in reliable sources, as required by WP:GNG. Please also see the contested PROD Kostas20142 (talk) 00:37, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Thanks for AfDing this, the prod was removed by an anon with no rationale. The PROD rationale was " No evidence this fictional organization passes WP:GNG/WP:NFICTION". --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:08, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and/or redirect to Buffy the Vampire Slayer#Storylines for being all WP:PLOT. In my experience, fictional organizations rarely ever need a stand-alone article, but usually deserve a brief dict-def-like description somewhere as a search term and to establish context. #Storylines in the main articles serves that purpose already. – sgeureka ^t•c 09:18, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:GNG. TTN (talk) 21:59, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or keep. There seems to be no good reason to make this a redlink or wipe its history. How much content should actually be merged is a question on which I have no strong opinion; it might even be none (equivalent to a redirect !vote, but without the "delete" part). --Trovatore (talk) 00:30, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
