[edit] Rebel Youth Network

Delete as non-notable. Google gives 130 hits. Feco 23:25, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep as it is notably a part of leftist history in Canada, Quebec and the First Nations. They are linked with the Communist Parties, Young Communist League, and other history dating back over 70 years. I got 131 hits on google, and of course not many hits would come out now, the organization no longer exists! --Mista-X 23:30, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, how does it have a history dating back over 70 years when it only just formed in 2003 and is now defunct? Megan1967 02:51, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Because they where ex-communist party youth, (CP ws formed in '21) and ex-YCL (YCL was formed in '29), the name Rebel Youth came from the YCL magazine, many of the ideas of RYN can be linked back to these things, so it's a part of history on the left in Canada. --Mista-X 15:56, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. An encyclopedia with infinite space should be able to handle small, but historically notable groups such as this. CJCurrie 23:50, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, concurring. Samaritan 02:25, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, but if it's kept, it seriously needs an NPOV cleanup. --Spinboy 00:16, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Editors of an encyclopedia of "infinite space" still need to craft the work with an eye towards crafting a high quality and discerning work. Indrian 04:07, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - will be of interest to left historians, people interested in youth groups etc. Indrian, the issues of whether the article needs rewriting and whether the topic merits an article are seperate. AndyL 16:11, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup as necessary. Kappa 18:55, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Formed in november 2003, faded away in 2004. Most fads last longer than that, let alone organizations. So, delete. Radiant_* 13:30, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. What CJCurrie said. Ground Zero 14:18, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable, go nowhere, do nothing group of 15 lefties. TDC 01:28, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. Dagen 05:35, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, this is a historically significant party. Ruy Lopez 05:50, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
