Article has been tagged for nearly five years with no resolutions. Organization is small and does not have any elected officers; no sources are cited. Does not appear to have achieved substantial, non-trivial coverage from multiple reliable independent sources. Toa Nidhiki05 20:02, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A gBooks search comes up blank, except for false hits on sentences like this from 1921, "The need of the hour in America, therefore, is a strong revolutionary organization of labor which would serve as a center of mobilization for all the militant, class- conscious, aggressive workers in this country." I cannot find the books listed at the bottom of the page as sources, nor can I find the author, one "Ray O. Light" (though there was a winning racehorse with this name.) The name is that of this blog [1], and these "books" appear to be self-published. A Proquest news search produced only 1 hit: (The 45th President: More Than 200 Arrested, Kesling, Ben; Tau, Byron; De Avila, Joseph. Wall Street Journal, Eastern edition; New York, N.Y. [New York, N.Y]21 Jan 2017: A.8 "Police arrested more than 200 people in sometimes violent protests here on President Donald Trump's Inauguration Day..." (at demonstrations in Boston that day) "What I am hoping for is the beginning of some serious organizing on behalf of working and poor people," said Rose Brown, 71, handing out a newsletter for the Revolutionary Organization of Labor.") While it's nice that the old revolutionaries keep busy handing out leaflets, this is not SIGCOV and may not even be about the same ORG. I don't see any basis for keeping given that the sole verifiable source is a book by Stalin, who was dead before this ORG was founded. E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:11, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
