Eddy Morrison
Procedural nomination. I noticed the redlinked AFD and that an IP user User:213.122.69.118 had added it to the list and tagged the article with a prod (rather than an AFD). I switched it to an AFD and created this page. As for looking at the article itself, it certainly appears to be more than a vanity page ... can someone familiar with British politics comment on whether this is a real/notable individual or just someone's wishful thinking? No vote. BigDT 05:28, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Morrison is a secondary but entirely genuine figure on the British far right, notable for his longevity, extremism and associations with many principals. He's referred to in plenty of publications, including the key text on nazi occultism, Black Sun (book). Dogville 07:17, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep and clean up per Dogville. --Coredesat 07:23, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per the comments above. Silensor 17:05, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as it is clearly a vanity entry with no credible references. Where is Morrison mentioned in any detail any printed books, for instance, that deal with the Far Right in the UK? True, he has one passing reference in one book, and that is all. Does that merit an entry, here, though? (If I am in error, somene correct me.) He is a very minor figure on the Far Right, famous for the amount of times he has created or been part of some organization, which then splits because of him or which he re-names or which he disbands. Are we going to include every minor figure in politics who gets one reference in one book? 213.122.78.162 22:38, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * You just called him 'famous' ... Dogville 07:14, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * He is regularly covered in Searchlight Magazine, although given that their website is pretty poor most of the articles are not on there. I've left my copies at home but I'll sort out referencing in the near future if that is the problem. His propensity for starting and stopping movements is, to an extent, indicative of the fractured nature of the far right in Britain rather than his own lack of notability. The fact that he is covered in books as far apart chronologically as that of Ray Hill and Nick Ryan's Homeland indicates his longevity on the far right, another important aspect of his notability. Therefore he is definitely notable enough for an article. Keresaspa 12:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep A figure with a long history on the British far right and leader of a political party. Keresaspa 11:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep but re-write and tidy from NPOV and giving credible sources according to Wikipedia policy.Coolmoon 07:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
