The result was   Redirect to Arnold Meri, since opinions seem split between keep and delete, redirecting until more sources become available seems to be the middle path. Tim Vickers (talk) 04:52, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Estonian Anti-Fascist Committee

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The sources given aren't enough to prove the existance of this organisation; the article lacks in content and lists a person who recently died after being very ill for a long time as the leader of the organisation. DubZog (talk) 19:14, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep There seems to be more information in the Russian version, and some references, of which some at least appear reliable and very detailed DGG (talk) 19:58, 4 April 2009 (UTC)..
 * Then it should be speedily improved, as after two years of existance it is still not longer than one sentence. Especially as a half of the sentence is obviously incorrect, it leaves just "Estonian Anti-Fascist Committee criticises the policy of Republic of Estonia concerning World War II.", which is not an article...

 * Delete, per nom, this one man show is just not notable. Martintg (talk) 21:14, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - I remember the 'committee' included around ten members, including the sadist-chekist Uno Laht and some relatively unknown figures. It's a show similar to those Soviet era 'Finland-USSR Friendship Association', 'Committee of the Defense of Peace' etc.-- Miacek and his crime-fighting dog ( woof! ) 14:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - mentioned at president.kremlin.ru. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 15:11, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This is another source that just mentiones the organisation, yet says nothing about it... I doubt if there actually is a serious organisation behind the name... DubZog (talk) 16:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to Arnold Meri unless notability can be established past a general mention. Indepth writing of the committee is going to be required to establish this. --Russavia Dialogue 15:20, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * In that case the article on Arnold Meri should still explain who are the other members. I think Meri was a figurehead. he was simply too old and obviously senile (based on impressions of his TVappearances) to form an organisation himself. -- Miacek and his crime-fighting dog ( woof! ) 15:00, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Something like that is suitable, yes, as it will give some context, and won't turn into the BLP-fest/ideological battlefield that Finnish Anti-Fascist Committee has become. --Russavia Dialogue 12:26, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Not even a proper article, something about the notablity tells that there are not even enough sourcse to form more than two sentences. --Pudeo⺮ 23:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete the organization itself is unregistered name couple of people use to give more strength to their personal thoughts. There are so called branches in finland, latvia, lithuania and poland. Each of those "organization" consists of two or three people and some "guest members" which suddenly become the members of the organization when it's useful to say that THIS person was member of that organization. But unfortunately the organization "exists" only when someone needs to yell at something, thus there is no sources on the internet which could actually be used to describe the organization itself. Unless the member of the Finnish Antifascist Committee, Petri Krohn writes homepage for them with "convenient" citations of course. Suva Чего? 17:41, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete as per above.--Unionhawk Talk 02:08, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
