Space Hijackers

Apparently non-notable anarchist (or as they call themselves "anarchitect") group; article lists no third-party coverage. Delete; I only do not request speedy deletion for lack of a claim of notability because the article has escaped attention since the year 2003 when it was created. - Mike Rosoft 11:11, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Does it really take that much effort to click on a link to the homepage of the subject and find, right before your eyes, reams of evidence of non-trivial independent third party coverage?

I would expect that such a serious matter as nominating an article for deletion would merit a little more consideration; this nomination fails basic standards of due diligence. Skomorokh ^incite 11:32, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~ Delete. In reviewing the sources provided, One is the site of the group itself (Unsuitable, as a primary source), another is a dead link (the anarchitecture week site), and a third is Youtube (not generally considered a reliable source). Some google hits such as a Wired article herehint at the group selling a tank (!) at auction in September, while others feature a blog for the group. Yes, I can confirm that the group exists - but is it notable? I cannot determine that from the information available to me. If there are indeed sources beyond those I can find on Google, please add them to the article - that would satisfy Notability and probably result in the article being Kept.

Seeing as no progress has been made to provide additional sources, I must recommend that the article be Deleted, with no prejudice against the creation of a properly sourced version in the future. I have changed my above recommendation accordingly. The rationale still applies, in that the article fails WP:V and WP:NOTE. Best, ZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 14:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Argument for NOT deleting Personally I think that the page is a useful point of reference, I came here from the Circle Line Party entry and would have been left wanting without it. I do not believe it is invalid "becuase it has not been modified since 2003" - in fact there is an argument that if it has not been modified then it is a perfect article. It gives useful links to find out more and as such I feel it should be left intact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.230.248.1 (talk • contribs) 06:47, 17 October 2007

I moved the above misplaced comment of User:129.230.248.1 from this AfD's talk page with the edit summary as the !vote. ZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 13:57, 17 October 2007 (UTC) [reply]
