Article is largely based on non-RS Chavista outlet Venezuelanalysis. Multiple other sources are broken links. Icing on the cake is that the lead describes the committees as based on "participatory democracy." Adoring nanny (talk) 14:32, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't see any POV or hoax issues here. Even if some sources are not reliable, the topic is still notable. Ambrosiawater (talk) 18:01, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep per WP:NEXIST. A Google search shows widespread coverage in reputable sources. --BonkHindrance (talk) 18:34, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as I can’t see anything wrong with it. If the article us somehow biased or unreliable it should be corrected by editing. We are definitely not in WP:TNT territory. Mccapra (talk) 21:31, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Remove, not only based on a WP:Deprecated source but also these are not notable comittees.--MaoGo (talk) 09:59, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
