Delete The article lacks good sources and fails to establish the subject's importance. The Irlandsfronten appears non notable. --Stormbay (talk) 14:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep, I duplicate an argument made on the talk page earlier: "Regarding notablity, yes this was a small organization. Nevertheless, I think there are some issues worth noting. One, that an international network of pro-IRA organizations were built up throughout Western Europe in the 1970s. This group maintained links with Sinn Fein and arranged visits there. Nowadays, SV, to which the members of the organization belonged, is a government party in Norway and I don't think it is irrelevant to include information about this group. Moreover it had 10 years of history and a continuation through the United Ireland Committee. --Soman 10:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)"
Moreover, I don't see the source problem. It does have only one source, but on the other hand it is highly authorative. --Soman (talk) 19:53, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment, I cannot make any substantial improvements of the article at this point. It is a common problem on articles on orgs that lapsed before the advent of www, that very little material is available online. If one has access to Norwegian print sources, this could be handled though. [1] doesn't any info as such, but indicates that there might be interest material on the feuds between the two pro-Irish republican groups in Norway during the 1970s. --Soman (talk) 20:02, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep valid stub. Catchpole (talk) 22:23, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Note: this editor added identical keep votes without meaningful rationale to a large number of AfDs. Jfire (talk) 23:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep — Valid stub agreed, and the topic seems politically interesting. — EliasAlucard (Discussion · contribs) 03:48, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, a valid stub is exactly what they are, most of them. This one has adequate official sources for notability.DGG (talk) 00:16, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
