The creator removed the advertising style and the prod, but regardless this fringe organisation is still not notable as a quick glace at its Web site news page will indicate http://www.liberty-scotland.org/LS-News.html Ajbpearce (talk) 20:13, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete New organisation attempting to use Wikipedia to establish its presence. No pre-existing notability demonstrated or visible by web search. AllyD (talk) 21:00, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. What AllyD said. Can't remember seeing a mention of this groupuscule in The Herald or The Scotsman and this Google news search tends to support my vague recollections. Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:08, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The article reports the creation of a new (fringe or fledgling) organisation and conforms to all of Wikipedia standards (it is a new organisation and the fact of there being no sources, except the organisation's own web page, self verifies). I am the creator of the entry and Liberty Scotland and we are very actively promoting and campaigning and hopefully that will become apparent. At the moment it is a new organisation and that is what is being reported - therefore, keep. Thanks for your time and consideration of this. Tlmglasgow (talk) 08:31, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Tlmglasgow, I'm afraid you've strengthened the case for deletion. Start by reading WP:NOTSOAPBOX. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 10:44, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete for self-promotion, soapboxing, and not being notable. -- Whpq (talk) 17:05, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
