 * Merge with Fred Hampton. There is good information here, but I'm not convinced that it deserves its own article. Location (talk) 15:07, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

The dilemma with merging this content with the biographical entry on Fred Hampton is that it is not, strictly speaking, about his life or work. Rather, the content here has to do with the way his life and work proved pivotal for other activists. In this case, the reference is chiefly to the Weather Underground. For this reason, the entry does not seem biographical in nature. Neither does it fit squarely in the Weatherman (organization) narrative of Weather actions.

 * There isn't any reason information on the effect that Fred Hampton's killing had on the WUO couldn't be covered in that article.Prezbo (talk) 02:59, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
