[edit] Alfredo M. Bonanno

This article was tagged as {{explain-significance}} since April 7 and has not been modified since. It currently does not explain how this Italian anarchist is notable. Zzyzx11 | Talk 16:37, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. —Frecklefoot | Talk 16:37, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, maybe. I've found alot of lengthy essays by him on the web, but they all seem to be the same mess of anarchist buzzwords produced by millions of anarchists worldwide. Typical examples (loose translation) : (on dialectal materialism) 'As grave as this problem is, with a little reflection, anyone can see how many anarchist campaigns end up strongly influenced by marxist theory in the decisions taken by the writers of law.' or 'The Crisis or Capitalism' or 'This idea can be desguised as Collaborationist Ideology, but cannot infact disappear entirely.' For such creative free-thinkers, anarchists sure are devoid of original material.

Anyway. It looks like he had a few books published in the early 70s and late 80s, but from what I can tell none of them are in print. I couldn't find a biography or anything. It is worth noting that some of his stuff seems to have been translated into French, German and English.

He sounds like one of a million anarchist pamphlet writers. I'll change my vote if anyone can find anything else notable about him. He did publish after all. But otherwise delete for being a non-notablist vanitarian unencyclopedicism. Kyle543 02:04, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Alfredo Maria Bonanno. Noted in his field, lots of his stuff on the web. Sentenced to six years in the Marini trial last year.--Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:36, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep Notable. I have been aware of Bonnano's writings since 1977. His publications are notable as a tendency and influence on late twentieth century anarchist thought (insurrectionary anarchism) (see the Anarchism entry). Notable for being labelled by prosecutors as the anarchist godfather in a trial in Italy 1997-2003. I have researched and added substantially to this article to ensure it meets the notability requirements. --Takver 05:46, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. The liberation struggle of the economic dependencies of colonization must be... um... something. -- BDAbramson thimk 04:54, 2005 May 1 (UTC)
