I am removing the following from the notables list because they lack documentation of a connection to the organization or lack proof of notability. They can be returned to the article when the needed documentation is found.

Editors, please consider adding Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to the list of notable members given evidence found at https://thecapitolist.com/the-wrap-is-ron-desantis-a-member-of-skull-and-bones-is-he-anti-vax-is-florida-a-low-vax-state/, https://www.missinformational.com/post/part-ii-the-secret-sordid-dark-history-of-ron-desantis and the page web archive going back to 2021. User User:Pbritti has repeatedly scrubbed this information and I strongly suspect bias. Please take a look at the evidence when you have a chance, thank you! 41.60.167.35 ( talk) 02:16, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
scrubbing attemptto remove DeSantis's alleged membership to this organization from Wikipedia. I looked into the article the IP editor cited to support this claim and relevant additional material available on the web. There is absolutely no evidence to support the claim that Ron DeSantis was ever a member of a secret society at Yale. According to The Capitolist article the IP editor linked, an unnamed source confirmed that DeSantis was not a member of one secret society while not ruling out membership other societies. The same article then references Wikipedia to support the claim that he was a member of St. Elmo; this claim was never referenced and was inserted into this article in April 2020 by a now-indefinitely blocked user . This is an open-and-shut case of citogenesis–see WP:CIRCULAR for the relevant policy. Don't worry, The Capitolist wasn't the only place to cite Wikipedia for this claim. Pinging Malerooster, who initially removed the claim that DeSantis was a member, and Rublamb, who is currently purging other unreferenced/non-notable names from the article. PS: Ignore my earlier and now-struck errant assertion on Talk:Ron DeSantis that Wangerfamily and the IP are the same; I was confused by reading the edit history of a different IP and made a false connection. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 02:16, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
