Non-notable group. The sources supporting this article do not seem to be anything more than allied groups. Where are the actual media reports? What we have is a group that had maybe a dozen rallies, and took a few pictures, but achieved no concrete ends - hardly sufficient to establish independent notability. bd2412 T 16:23, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

There are some independent news sources amongst these search results, such as [1],[2] and [3], and I found this paragraph of book coverage. This seems very much of a borderline case to me, so I'm reserving judgement until I see whether anyone comes up with anything else. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:31, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources found establishing notability. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:40, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This was a major group in the anti-war movement and were behind the calls for several large anti-war demos in the US. I personally dislike the group a lot, but they are definitely notable. Ungovernable Force^{Poll: Which religious text should I read?} 03:25, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It takes little effort to be "behind the calls" for something, especially when there were plenty of politicians unaffiliated with this group making similar pronouncements. So far as I can tell this group had two goals, to end the war in Iraq and to impeach Bush, neither of which happened and the latter of which never germinated into a real movement and is now impossible. This sort of flash-in-the-pan does not establish enduring notability. bd2412 T 04:10, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Keep - organization is notable, is covered by numerous sources including Time, ABC and CNN. The group is still active in human rights activism, including pro-choice and anti-torture issues. --George100 (talk) 04:35, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As one of Revolutionary Communist Party, USA offshoots. That should be mentioned and ref'd if possible. But someone SHOULD do the work of adding notable refs about. CarolMooreDC (talk) 12:50, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
