Hollywood Left - is this real? I can't find anything about it searching for "Hollywood Left" "mailing list" on Google. The inclusion of "see alsos" to October Revolution and Leni Riefenstahl makes it suspicious. RickK 23:38, Jun 11, 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep. The mailing list is explained e.g. at [1]. --Lumidek 23:45, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • That article says that the people mentioned in the article went to a screening of Fahrenheit 9/11. There is no mention of a mailing list. RickK 00:03, Jun 12, 2004 (UTC)
    • O'REILLY: Who is them? I don't think they faxed Tom Selleck and Bruce Willis. I don't think they faxed Clint Eastwood and Kurt Russell. There must be a little list or a big list of people that they think they can mobilize. ... HAMMOND: There is a list but there's also an article that appeared ...
  • Sorry, that's not proof. RickK 00:12, Jun 12, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: O'Reilly, following Drudge, *alledges* that there is a mailing list (as in a USPS mailing list), then that there is a fax list. They were picking up political blog talk of a few Hollywood organizers who use their Rolodexes to gather up politically motivated folks. I.e. this is speculation, political, and highly POV. It's along the lines of "liberal elites." Geogre 00:13, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • HAHAHAHA. I watched this segment on O'Reilly last night. I never thought somebody would make a Wikipedia article about it. WOW. Ridiculous. Delete. blankfaze | •­• 00:56, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. A great many people watch O'Reilly, so why shouldn't we cover the ideas he comes up with? It's easily famous enough. Everyking 02:03, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. O'Reilly alleges something for two minutes and its gets a article? No, sorry. If this were a recurring theme of his (and if said theme went by this specific title), then maybe keep. -Sean Curtin 03:34, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • This is a one-off allegation with nothing to back it up. Delete. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:07, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Agree, not a significant catch-phrase of O'Reilly's, delete. Meelar 06:04, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Of course Hollywood liberals have their friends' email addresses, of course they sometimes send out anti-Bush emails, and of course they know not to include the conservatives. As one of O'Reilly's guests asked him, "Well, Bill, is this a shock to you?" The Hollywood conservatives also have lists. People in other fields have lists. I get anti-Bush email, though admittedly not from any movie stars. Delete as nonencyclopedic. JamesMLane 07:17, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Discussion closed.

RESULT: No consensus to delete, keep.

It seems like a bit of an odd article to me. It is, after all, about something that only allegedly exists. Kelisi 19:29, 19 September 2005 (UTC)


It's not even accurate, the names they list are actually names that attended a movie, not that are supposed to be on the list. ~mp
