[edit] Free People's Movement

Free People's Movement (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Another non-notable fringe political organization. I couldn't find any reliable sources that covered it. Google News Archives, for example gives exactly one hit for "Free People's Movement," from 1941 and unrelated to this organization.

Nomination also includes the article on its youth organization, Revolutionary Youth. None of the sources I can find that use the term "revolutionary youth" seem to be talking about this organization ObiterDicta ( pleadings • errata • appeals ) 23:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

• Ah. This is odd. On the one hand, the article states that "The organization has branches in New York, Connecticut, Maryland/Washington DC, Ohio, Nevada, Colorado, Florida, the United Kingdom, Luzon, Philippines, Dominican Republic, Tamil Nadu, India, Andhra Pradesh, India, West Bengal, India, Solomon Islands, Lagos State, Nigeria, Uganda, Alberta" which, if true, would bespeak a truly worldwide organization, thus tending toward notability. But there's no sources whatsover (except their own web sites, none of which I could even get to work) and apparently no easy way to get any. Generally speaking, the solution to sourcing issues is to tag the article, not delete it. But there's not a shred of proof that this whole thing doesn't consist of one guy living in his mom's basement. I think without some indication that the organization even exists, we have to delete it. Herostratus 16:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as unverified and possible hoax. The external link to *The Revolutionary Youth is bogus as ry-jr.org is an available address for purchase.--Bejnar 18:54, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Not as a hoax (they seem to be very real), but as non-notable. I could find nothing, and their page listings for localized branches is turned off at this time. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
