Strong keep. Could you please indicate why exactly is this 'NN', and why that means it should be deleted? - ulayiti (talk) 13:14, 3 November 2005 (UTC)- Sure. I don't think it's notable because as far as I can tell, Jackson was not actually a particularly significant figure. "Anti-Kerry League" gets a single Google hit. I wasn't able to find any "Vote and Live" hits that actually pertained to Jackson's organization. I'm having serious verifiability problems here, in other words. I freely admit that the Google test is far from infallible, but if he was a significant activist figure in the early 21st century, I'd say that he'd have to show up on that radar, even a little. I may be mistaken, obviously, but I don't think he does. Even if he did, the lack of hits suggests that he was not a notable figure, and given that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, it's not enough for something to just verifiably exist in order to be included in Wikipedia -- I believe that a certain degree of notability is a requirement. (And obviously, if it turns out that Google is just plain wrong here, I'll be happy to revise my vote.) -- Captain Disdain 14:10, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
- Fair enough, delete. Furthermore, the author of this article has requested on my talk page to have all his contributions removed from Wikipedia. - ulayiti (talk) 15:24, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
