[edit] Dalit Freedom Network

Dalit Freedom Network (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Several editors have undertaken heroic efforts to neutralise this article, but it is irretrievably tainet by the work of User:Hkelkar and ban-evading socks thereof. The cited sources appear not to be mainly about the group, merely to mention it. Some of them are now 404 anyway. There are also links to User:Primetime. I don't think we need the aggro.

  • Keep. Notable. The article requires cleanup and re-write though. utcursch | talk 14:48, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Sorry, I just don't understand the proposed reasons for deletion. Plenty of articles attract riff-raff, especially those about "professional" wrestlers, but we're not going to delete the lot of those for that reason either because the subjects are notable (according to our guidelines).
