False statement, wrong conclusion[edit]

As stated in the page: "...that it was formed about twenty years previous to the events, so probably some time in the 1960s."

The Bookhouse Boys seem to have been a part of the Twin Peaks society as long as there has been people living in those parts of the country.

Taken verbatim from Season one, episode 3:

"Twin Peaks is different. There's a sort of evil out there. Something very, very strange in these old woods. Call it what you want, a darkness, a prescence. It takes many forms. It's been out there for as long as anyone can remember. And we have always been here to fight it. Men before us. Men before them. More after we are gone."

And in the next scene, Sheriff Truman says at the Bookhouse:

"This is where we get together. Going on, twenty years now..."

As I take it, he means in this place, in this building, and not the Bookhouse Boys as a phenomena. Therefore, one can conclude, the Bookhouse Boys has been in existence more than twenty years, or more precise, "for as long as anyone can remember". Therefore, the conclusion that "it was formed about twenty years previous to the events" are a false conclusion, and should be edited out and replaced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.227.41.47 (talk) 22:53, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Possible" link to alleged real society[edit]

This is an article about a fictional society. If the real-life society is notable, it should have its own sourced article. Shoehorning it in here and claiming a "possible" link is a violation of WP:OR and labeling real people as "vigilantes" without reliable sourcing is a WP:BLP violation.

Okay, here is the text removed:

The Bookhouse Boys is also the name of a secret society of intuitive vigilantes who meet in a secret 
location in the small border town of Rouses Point, NY. Members include Breck Parsons, Christopher 
Steen, and Ryan Casey.

I was under the impression that this referred to a historical society. However, the present tense suggests it is a current body, which of course brings BLP into play. Not because of the word "vigilantes" but because the actual existence or the notability of the group is in question.

If it is a contemporary society, it is also dubious that the Twin Peaks group took their name from them, it could just as well be the other way around.

Regardging notability, the three names given yield no result on these three names given. Searching for Bookhouse Boys and New York yields a band inspired by the TP group.

So, all things considered I agree with the removal. I just didn't want to be hasty. Str1977 (talk) 10:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
