Keep - significant coverage in John D. Holst (2004) "Globalization and Education within Two Revolutionary Organizations in the United States of America: A Gramscian Analysis" and a reasonable amount of coverage in Howard Brick and Christopher Phelps (2015) Radicals in America: The U.S. Left Since the Second World War. Various smaller mentions in reliable sources, too. Warofdreams talk 21:50, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Max Elbaum's book covers FRSO. They were also covered during the FBI raids in 2010 by the Washington Post, NY Times etc.--User:Namiba 21:54, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or draftify. Was leaning towards TNT based on current condition, but I think a rewrite wouldn't be too onerous given available sourcing--mostly just replacement of primary for secondary references. For what it's worth, the current version seems be copied over from the Maoist wikia project, which is licensed CC-BY-SA. Freelance-frank (talk) 22:43, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
