I realize this article is very basic and needs work (perhaps my problem) but as a political organization in the US, I fail to see why it merits speedy deletion. I am not familiar with all wikipedia rules but it seems to me equally obscure organizations have pages so I am a little puzzled. I do think it needs work; it's just a start. Should I do it all in sandbox first? I am not a wikipedia expert. Rmalhotr 21:17, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mainly what it needs is non-trivial references to independent reliable sources. This is needed to help verify the facts therein and to establish that the group is notable enough to merit an encyclopedia article in the first place. --Finngall ^talk 21:23, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At the very least, it needs some indication of why it is important or significant to people besides its members. DES ^(talk) 22:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I am trying my best and hope to improve. Thanks for letting the page stay up. I also agree with the person who changed the reference to Hobgoblin as that is more detailed and also is NPOV as we would need a source to prove "moribund".Rmalhotr 04:04, 30 July 2007 (UTC) 04:03, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hobgoblin

I don't have the technical skills to figure out how to change the Hobgoblin link. Obviously we need a page about the Hobgoblin journal in Britain eventually (I don't think even News and Letters Newspaper has a page yet) but right now, it's wrongly directing people to the mythical concept of hobgoblin. Does someone know how to create a page that will distinguish? I don't know how to do this.Rmalhotr 05:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Additions, changes

I've just made many additions and some changes, partly explained in the edit summary. Some of the changes to existing material were made in order to make the piece more precise: for instance, I think support for "women's liberation" is somewhat more precise in this case than "pro-feminist," and opposition to heterosexism is somewhat more precise than the notion that the group supports "equality." The prior formulations didn't, IMO, adequately convey the non-reformist nature of the organization's positions. I'll be happy to discuss this and other things, though, if there's disagreement. andrew-the-k 20:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
