English movement

 * – ( View AfD View log )

was nominated for speedy deletion, but fit into no speedy category. Some of group discussed are  included in English nationalism; others would clearly not fit there. I wouldn't want to move it to English Reborn  which I don't think is notable. Perhaps somebody can think of something positive to do, but I cannot.  DGG ( talk ) 19:13, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete would be the positive move I think. The 'English movement' does not appear to be something widely covered by reliable sources, and the groups listed appear to be a largely unrelated collection of political groups, religious and folklore organisations and a few anti-Islamic hate groups. If any of the individual groups are notable they should have their own articles.--Michig (talk) 20:25, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is a non-notable movement; no reliable sources appear in the article. If as fine a librarian as DGG can't find a source, it doesn't exist. Bearian (talk) 21:15, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep but Rename to Modern English nationalism; merge some of the material in English nationalism here and make this a "main" article for that section. This article reviews what may be called "Englishism" and usefully links together a variety of comparatively disparate topics, in a rather better way than a mere list article would.  I know we deplore "modern" in titles, but  this is a relatively recent phenomenon, reacting to Welsh and Scottish nationalist movements.  Unfortunately, some of the groups belong to the loony right.  I am not suggesting merge as that would unbalance English nationalism which does not look a bad article at a quick glance.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:26, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete no reliable sources for the name, no evidence that the listed organisations would seem themselves as connected. An OR & synth minefield best deleted.  No evidence that it is a a phenomenon, let alone a reaction to Welsh and Scottish nationalism.  Any referenced material can go to English nationalism,  that can split if it becomes overlong. -- Snowded  TALK  17:31, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete but merge some aspects of the article into other articles if and where relevant, whether they be religion / nationalism / folk articles. The movement does exist, though outside of the mainstream, and so lacks reliable sources - this was created before I had read WP:RS, and so I hold my hands up.
