[edit] Rebel Alliance Forums

Another web forum. Although this article is reasonably well written, I can't figure out why this is notable. Although I get about a thousand Google hits after weeding out the string "star wars", I still can't tell that this group is notable. Most of the top hits appear to be other groups using this popular name. The Rebel Alliance is already covered in the Che-Lives article. --Xcali 20:48, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep - Well if the Che-lives article covering the Rebel Alliance is shortend to say a link and this page stays would that not cover it? because it is not covered to any detail in the Che-Lives article. Remember this is a relatively new development in Che-Lives, you seem a bit too keen to get rid of the article. And we may not be on google yet, but we're on msn search, quite high in fact- User:Escobar600ie


Che-Lives has a rather lengthy page describing different aspects of it, and it's history... I don't see why the Rebel Alliance, a prominent division of it should be robbed of such a thing while che-live's history and information is allowed to remain. (unsigned edit by 24.131.136.226)

Personally I think that this is an interesting development. If this infomation were to be merged into the main Che-lives page then it is possible that the page would be too long. However, so long as the infomation is kept (either on the Che-lives page or on its own page) I don't mind what is done. If things continue and this forum actually becomes a lot more active then there is reason to leave it as a seperate page. I vote to delete the page and merge the infomation back into the main Che-lives page until such time as the forums become more active. --harrismw 01:58, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I vote no. The page itself stands for an independent website, not a sub-division of Che-Lives. It would be more appropriate to delete a part of the information regarding Rebel Alliance on the Che-Lives website. --User:RedStarOverChina

This page should definately have a stay. Aslong as there is something to write about it (Enough information), it should always stay because all articles need to be considered, atleast once, and allowed to exist..since this is Wikipedia, and we should strive to cover as most subject as possible and if someone does the bother to write a bit about it, why try to save a lil' bandwith 'cuz you don't like "small" boards, which could always become something bigger and more than a forum? But don't remove part of it from teh Che-Lives entry.....it's relevant, after-all, they're break-away from the board there, of RevLeft.--OleMurder 18:07, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete - just another web forum - no evidence of notability. Wikipedia is not a web guide. CDC (talk) 22:18, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete nn. Wikipedia is not a web directory. Tobycat 03:36, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Rebel Alliance is not a website, as such. It is a community composed of people with a (roughly) shared political or philosophical leaning who happen to be divided by large distances and so communicate using the internet.

  • If Wikipedia is not a web directory then certainly the likes of che-lives should be removed as well. This community is quite unique for the way it organizes itself. (unsigned edit by 24.131.136.226)


Put it under the Che Lives main page. It does not need its own seperate page as the website will most likely die within a relatively short period anyway. That or group it with Star Wars.--HoldenMashaft

  • Keep it. People need information on forums that are more appropriate to how anti-authoritarian, leftist sites will be conducted. - Rural Communalist (pseudo-signed edit by 69.63.48.106)

  • Delete. The meatpuppet brigade (hilariously long but otherwise basic definition of what a web forum is) hasn't done much to show that this site is notable. A Man In Black 05:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, not notable. Will add a sentence summary to the che-lives page once I get my net back, since they have only come up in the month that my net has been down so far.-- Revolutionary Left | Che y Marijuana 19:23, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
