Cordially, I note Rublamb removed the F&S Project from among the projects linked to this organization. Because "PBL" is still part of the name, referring to Phi Beta Lambda, there remains a connection to the F&S Project. Tenuous? Sure, but still valid (the society is notable, currently exists, and has a GLO-connection) Thoughts? Jax MN (talk) 19:08, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jax MN: The article is misnamed and should be moved; the group does not use PBL as part of its name. Done
I found this article with a WP F&S tag but discovered that it was not on the WP watchlist and that it lacked a fraternity Infobox. So, I made the call to remove the F&S tag. Here's what we know: the postsecondary division that is now called FBLA Collegiate once had a Greek letter name (Phi Beta Lambda) but evidence that it ever functioned as a professional fraternity is tenuous at best, and it is not in Baird's 17th. The article does not explain the Greek letter name or any indication of selective membership. I would feel better with this being under the F&S umbrella if the article were about FBLA Collegiate, but don't feel strongly enough about it to dispute your position, other than to say that the watchlist and infobox will need to be addressed.
Note that there is a WP redirect from Phi Beta Lambda to this article; I updated that to go directly to the appropriate section. Rublamb (talk) 19:57, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
