But on consideration[edit]

Perhaps it would nevertheless be better if this page were temporarily removed, until such time as more supporting material is avaliable - ie. October 2009. 78.105.61.64 (talk) 18:38, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not a hoax, but vanadlism[edit]

If you look at the original article, you'll note that there is no description of the society as 'marxist' etc. One or two unregistered users have, however, persistently edited the page, including puerile accusations of Marxism. The society does exist, and when http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/clubs/register/index.shtml is updated by the university in the near future, this will be clear. The wikipedia page exists because the society is of historical interest, and should be set in context, as the page makes clear. Rather than deleting this page, it would be better to protect it from vandalism. 78.105.61.64 (talk) 17:48, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hoax?[edit]

The article describes this society as a "Marxist society". But there is no evidence, except for the assertion of an anonymous editor, that the society even exists; let alone that it is Marxist. The logo appears to be an original work, while the assertion (with a purported photo) that Lenin addressed the group in Oxford in 1919 is patently ridiculous.

Obviously a hoax[edit]

The University of Oxford offers website hosting to every single society. If this society was really revived it would have its own website and an Oxford University address. Obviously fake. Any competent society leader would not fail to set up their own website. If you Google there is no evidence of this society existing for years.

On the contrary, it is mentioned in several standard histories of Oxford, and some of its papers are on deposit in the Bodleian! --Orange Mike | Talk 20:04, 16 September 2009 (UTC) (B.A. Milw. '04 History)[reply]

Mike is quite right--it is a/famous b/not a student society and c/antedates the internet by over a century. DGG ( talk ) 03:10, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have no doubt that the society once existed. I stated that "there is no evidence of this society existing for years." Meaning, there is no evidence that this society existed after the late 1990s, and thus the claim in this article that it has been "revived" is clearly a hoax.

The above is in error, as the proctors of Oxford University will verify: the society does, indeed, exist. See the link to its term card displayed on the Oxford History Faculty website, which offers unequivocal proof of this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.62.49 (talk) 19:10, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
