More chapter lists

Rublamb Turns out that dlp.org has been online on archive.org since 1999. While the page with the chapters on it has changed, it appears that going back in history for the main page allows links to much older chapter lists. So https://web.archive.org/web/19981201230413/http://dlp.org/ has as the first little box, a link to https://web.archive.org/web/19990210173848/http://dlp.org/chapters/ , but some of the later ones go to other pages like https://web.archive.org/web/20020605080629/http://www.dlp.org/chapters.shtml . I'll try to add some of the others, but it looks like in a *lot* of cases, they go back and forth between using a chapter letter to be a specific college vs. a metropolitan area, that may be ugly to figure out. I need to go make dinner, I'll try to add as I can if you don't beat me there. Also, we all probably need to be more vigilant on moving to its own page anything with more than 50 chapters...Naraht (talk) 21:33, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks!!! I had pulled some from one archive capture, but did not think to look for other versions. Duh! I started with around eight chapters from the national website--so I am pretty proud of where the list is at this point. I added to the main article as well as it lacked the required sources. Based on the news coverage, this is a significant group, worth our effort. Rublamb (talk) 21:48, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

@Naraht: Thanks again. I think I caught everything. I also checked the links to the archived chapter websites and found great info on their shield for the main article). In terms of moving chapter lists to a new article, I am trying to make sure that either Baird's or other secondary sources are included to prove notability so that the article won't be challenged when published. (Remember, the Almanac has already failed to prove notability in a delete challenge). In cases like this, it can become a quite a project so my progress is slower than I like.
