[edit] Jewdas

This article about a "Radical Jewish Group" seems to fail in the notability area - there are plenty of ghits but apart from the groups own website, the rest seem to be MySpace, blogs and forums - also, there are no internal links to this article DavidHumphreys SPEAK TO MEABOUT THE THINGS I MESSED UP 04:59, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete: fails WP:BIO. There is the Guardian article on it, which gives it a veneer of notability but not enough to meet WP:BIO#3. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 07:09, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. WP:BIO and WP:WEB by definition don't make space for radical groups outside the mainstream, because they depend on some form of mainstream support for their inclusion. Given this, and given that "notability" however defined is not an official requirement, I think less damage will be done by keeping articles of this sort (assuming they have ghits) than by deleting, them, which inevitably politicises WP in certain directions more than continuing to allow their inclusion would.

  • Strong Keep. Genuinely original organisation within Anglo-Jewry which, although new has a significant following and impact. Deleting would be a political act designed to silence voices of dissent within the jewish community.
  • keep other articles about jewdas have appeared: on the jewish telegraphic agency http://www.jewishtimes.com/scripts/edition.pl?now=4/16/2006&stay=1&SubSectionID=87&ID=5566

  • Strong Keep. There is no other organisation like this within Anglo-Jewry at a time when radical voices are so vital to reinvigorate the community. It also does great parties. Jewdas needs the publicity to allow it to grow, so it must be kept here!
