*'''Keep''':I have no reason to see this article as anything other than genuine. It is recorded in th Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Washington, D.C. 20540 USA which I would have thought was a suitable enough reference, bearing in mind the dubious references used for some of the information on porn stars and the like. As a piece of social history it not only amuses it educates. What seems to us funny was real life in the 1920; in an era when no-one thought it unusual to ban black people from voting and ban alcahol, Ms reighly and her friends seem perfectly feasable. She is part of America's social history. If children etc, for whom we are writing this project are not amused they won't read, and they won't be educated. If the Library of congress is running a hoax then delete, I strongly suspect it is not. [[User:Giano II|Giano]] ([[User talk:Giano II|talk]]) 08:22, 19 November 2008 (UTC) |

** There are some mentions in google books, but nothing substantive. That and one photograph in the library of congress does not seem enough to pass [[WP:N]].

Appears to be sourced entirely from a blog (shorpy.com) run by the well-known historian "Dave". Some of the discussion on the talk page indicates hoax or parody elements. Given who was involved in this article (hint: recently "deceased" ArbCom candidate), this AfD can reasonably be construed as shameless drama whoring on my behalf.
