[edit] Like minded group

Like minded group (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

POV rant about the alleged excessive power of human rights abusers in the UN. Appears to be based on this one web page; a Google search shows many usages of the term "like minded group", but they're all over the place. Delete as an essentially unverifiable POV rant. szyslak 11:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

A couple of things: I've hardly even finished writing the page and have not put up the other refernces yet.

Secondly, I don't see how "The Like Minded Group" can be ignored since it is a named, existing group.

  • Revise, source, rewrite for NPOV and keep: the LMG appears to be a real grouping within the UN, at least according to these sources: [1] [2] [3] [4]. The .gov.cn link is probably the most authoritative of these, since it appears to be an official Chinese government source reporting on China's membership of this group. See [5] for an academic source. Also see [6] for a use of the term in a lecture by another academic. Note: this is not an endorsement of the current article content. -- Karada 11:30, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep : LMG is genuine group within UN. Verifiable sources are plentiful, per entry above. --Oscarthecat 11:59, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Appears to be genuinely prominent. Greg Grahame 12:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
