[edit] Ian Bone

No evidence of notability. Delete.-gadfium 00:51, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, nothing significant there. Zzyzx11 02:56, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, article does not establish notability. Megan1967 03:23, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • ...but the inbound link from Class War, a long article about the apparently highly notable national British anarchist group and newspaper Ian Bone founded in 1983, does. Keep and allow for at least organic expansion. Samaritan 05:18, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • keep per above. Kappa 07:19, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Based on the limited evidence I can find, his notability appears to be completely derivative of Class War. Unless substantially more encyclopedic content is available, redirect. Rossami (talk) 23:18, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete and unlink per Courtland's findings below. Rossami (talk) 02:29, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I would agree to keep based on the relationship to The Alarm, but I visited both their present and old websites and could find no mention of the putative founder Ian Bone, indicating that he was not notable enough to be mentioned (though several other people are mentioned) if in fact I've the right publication. Also, there is the argument that this article should be kept on the basis of Ian Bone's involvement in the establishment of the Class War anarchist society. I've found one web reference that would support this, a recopy of an Independent news article; I'm sending an email to the News Desk there to see if they can vouch for the veracity of this 1994 article. In the absence of reference support, though, I'd suggest this article being deleted. Courtland 02:35, 2005 Feb 12 (UTC)
