The article was created in the wake of the Parklands shooting due to the media reports on the purported affiliation of the suspect with the group. Please see Talk:Douglas_High_School_shooting#Claims_by_Republic_of_Florida. This was shown to be a hoax / publicity seeking, and the media quickly retracted their statements on the matter. The group itself is not otherwise notable and reported comprises 5 people. For a recap, please see "How white nationalists fooled the media about Florida shooter", Politico.
I had previously moved the article into draft, after discussing with the article creator. The article has been recently moved into main space by another editor. However, this seems the case of WP:TOOSOON / borderline WP:HOAX. I moved the article into draft again and am starting this MfD for community input. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:10, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
