[edit] Anarchist Soccer

I'm not sure this QUITE meets the standards of notability. It's also partially a copy violation, and a duplicate of Anarchist soccer. Tom Lillis 00:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete not notable, and borderline cruftish.Gateman1997 00:41, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete local membership levels, unless I'm corrected by, look pretty low. I might be convinced otherwise if hefty national figures can be quoted. Alf melmac 00:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Modify not sure what cruftish means. definitely a duplicate, so one copy at least needs to be deleted. local membership levels and how widely spread hard to confirm due to organisational structure of anarchist organisations. however a.s. also features in many U.S. national protests (g8, wto, IMF etc) and is undoubtably derived from the well established (and also anarchist) anti-racist world cup - http://www.mondialiantirazzisti.org (see faq) held every year in italy since 1995 or 1996. This seems notable, so perhaps article should be modified to incorporate that more. please point out copyright violations. Limes 19:23 2 December 2005

    • Comment. Sorry, but I don't understand what mondialiantirazzisti has to do with anarchist soccer. Can you point ot a reference that makes the connection? -- Dalbury(Talk) 18:21, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I've redirected Anarchist soccer to Anarchist Soccer, since they were the same and created by the same IP. Chick Bowen 01:55, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and start over if notable. --YixilTesiphon 02:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, seems original research, and unencyclopedic. I'm holding out for anarchist (gridiron) football — with firearms! Smerdis of Tlön 05:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Anarchist Soccer--MONGO 09:48, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Hmm? Anarchist Soccer is the article under discussion. Chick Bowen 15:54, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Yikes, you're right...Delete--MONGO 16:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I originally posted it. i'm going to try to rewrite it in a more encyclopedic manner and incorporate more background/establishing info and tie in the a-r world cup info. apologies for posting a very unfinished entry Limes 16:03 3 December 2005*
  • Weak keep; there does seem to be an actual movement of this name, of marginal notability now, but the bar should be pretty low given that this is not a paper encyclopedia. If the author intends to rewrite it (and it does need extensive rewriting as it now stands), he shouldn't call for its deletion, since deletionists around here will then insist on speedy-delete of any future versions attempted to be posted under this name, as they regard an AfD outcome as meaning that the topic is banned here until the end of time. *Dan T.* 18:59, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
    • How nice of you to speak on behalf of all deletionists everywhere. Maybe next time you could try for a little less POV. Denni ☯ 21:41, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Modify: apologies again, i'm new to this, but i'm going to do a speedy rewrite, in a more encyclopedic manner and incorporating more historical and supplementary information. Limes 02:49, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, seems fine to me. Stifle 14:40, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - Sounds basically like 'pick-up' soccer, or a joke that has spread between colleges. -- Dalbury(Talk) 18:21, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Agree with Dalbury. Eusebeus 14:32, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
