[edit] Mark Curtis

• Cleanup. This man actually had full length books written about him. See The Mark Curtis Hoax: How the Socialist Workers Party Tried to Dupe the Labor Movement by Martin McLaughlin ISBN 0-929087-46-1, and The Frame-Up of Mark Curtis: A Packinghouse Worker's Fight for Justice ISBN 0873485459. I'd say that level of attention is notable enough for inclusion when the question turns on possible political persecution. Durova 21:13, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Cleanup. A man who has had two books written about him is notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 00:28, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup per the previous votes. (Thanks for the research, Durova.) Also, there are happily some solid links there already. That's always a good sign. Jacqui ^{★ 00:55, 14 November 2005 (UTC)}
  • Maybe if we're going to keep it, the name should be changed to the "Mark Curtis Case". It seems that two different sets of leftist activists have argued over whether he is a rapist or the victim of a frame-up. Aside from that, he seems an utterly unimportant person. So, let's let the article be about the argument, not a bio of him. --Christofurio 14:29, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
