Magistrati[edit]

Charles the Great, aka Charlemagne, as a king had many dealings with magistrates, but there is no web-available public record of him founding a special Magistrati group or of a secret judicial "Ordo Magistratorum". Ordo Magistratorum has no notable search hits except for the address of the article's single link, leading to a protected Yahoo group (empty of messages, as I was sufficiently curious to sign up). Frankly the article reads as a broken English translation of a private RPG or conspiracy theory. Regardless of its truth, the article fails the core verifiability test of a reliable source.

Delete - I also failed to find any sources for this, and the text reads a little madeup. If such an organisation did exist it was clearly not sufficiently notable to have wide currency in what was a comparatively well-documented period in history. In which case a mention of it could possibly be included in the Charlemagne article but it does not justify a standalone page. Euryalus 02:27, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:V. Ordo magistrorum actually delivers some Google Books results, but only as a phrase within various contexts. Smells like a strange spam trap. --Dhartung | Talk 03:03, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete about as confused an historical article as i have ever seen here. No point in going through all the errors. DGG (talk) 08:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No substantive Ghits, most top ones being blogs. Unless its creator can provide verification and somethign to fill in 1000+ ye4ars between Charlemagne and Napoleon during the AFD period, it should be deleted. If retained it should be renamed "Ordo magistrorum". Peterkingiron 16:11, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
