Talk:Red & Anarchist Action Network
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] New Edit
Added a new edit with full sourcing. I want to get the tags removed, how can that happen? Brokendoor (talk) 23:14, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- What is needed is WP:RS, third-party sources. Infoshop and the RAAN website do not qualify in this sense. Is there any mention of the group in mainstream media or literature? --Soman (talk) 07:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- Mainstream media sources aren't necessary for notability. I'd like to know what sections are being challenged for "advertisement" speedy deletion. Infoshop News is a reliable source and there are several other sources from the previous entry outside the RAAN website, which can act as a secondary source. The hyperlinks to the actions show this group exists and the entry is ment to explain what this group is about, based on their website and websites they've submitted media to.Brokendoor (talk) 08:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- 1) I have not tagged it for speedy deletion. For speedy deletion, the Template:db-spam would have been used. 2) The article sounds like copied from a presentation of the group, not an encyclopediatic article. This is not facebook, but wikipedia. 3) sources are always necessary, and third party reliable sources are seriously lacking here. The sources now are either the website of the organization or posts in web forums. That is highly unsatisfactory. --Soman (talk) 10:49, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In the media
Red & Anarchist Action Network have been in the media more often then that simple attack on a Leninist bookshop. I'll see if I can find some articles...-- I ate jelly -- 10:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
