Northern Alliance(White supremacist organization)

Non-notable supremacist group. Not even worth moving to a correct tile, just delete. --Sn0wflake 23:47, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete agree with Snowflake -CunningLinguist 01:02, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• So many racist groups that can be deleted for being non-notable, so little time... --Idont Havaname 03:21, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. I think that this lot has been around for a while. the article should be extended, but that can't happen if it is deleted. Notability is not an agreed-to grounds for deletion. Ground Zero 16:44, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • If that was true, then most (if not all) articles on VfD would receive keep votes. The question to be asked is wether this article is expressive enough to be part of the Wikipedia, no matter how much somebody writes about the subject. "Northern Alliance" supremacist generates less than 650 hits. That's not notable. Far from it. Thus my vote remains the same. Delete. --Sn0wflake 19:55, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There is no consensus that "notability" should be a criterion for inclusion. See Jimbo Wales' view on notability, as expressed in the poll where notability failed to become an accepted reason for deletion. It is an interesting discussion, but it was not resolved. I hope that you review the article which has been completely re-written by User:CJCurrie. This organization is known in Canada. Ground Zero 20:04, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Not only has this organization been around for a while, but their activities have recently been a subject of controversy on the Freedom Party of Ontario page. This page needs expansion, not deletion. CJCurrie 18:20, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • And, I've now expanded the page. CJCurrie 19:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep The organization and its members have been in the news, particularly in the London, Ontario media, and are the target of a number of lawsuits and legal actions so they are notable enough for a wikipedia entry. The article, as it now stands, is well researched and interesting. AndyL 21:41, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Current version of the article is encyclopedic and NPOV. Notability is established. Dystopos 00:15, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete --File:Ottawa flag.png Spinboy 22:22, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. ··gracefool |☺ 06:54, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment It might help the consensus-building process if everyone explained their reasoning a little bit. Dystopos 13:18, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep after re-write. Jayjg ^(talk) 22:14, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• I'm not really sure how important these people are...occasionally they go around putting racist stickers on mailboxes, and the local media has something to talk about for a few days. But if they known outside of London, then keepI guess (it's an informative article, anyway). Adam Bishop 17:21, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
