Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV-AIDS Hypothesis

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

Per WP:ORG, does not appear to be the "subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources". The few reliable sources that mention this group usually do so in a single sentence. Appears to be best known for a letter to the editor published in the 1990s.

 * Weak delete: On the one hand, this is perhaps a relevant sidenote to the already-fringe area of AIDS denialism. On the other hand, though, coverage in independent, reliable sources is extremely thin and verges on the trivial. I don't have my copy of Impure Science in front of me, but my recollection is that even this source, which deal specifically and at length with the "causation debate", barely mentions the Group. I don't see how this article can ever be more than its current, tiny, stubby self, given the lack of substantial coverage in reliable sources. It would probably be better off as a redirect to AIDS denialism, or as a brief mention in the biographies of notable group members (e.g. Peter Duesberg, Philip E. Johnson), where the Group can be discussed as part of the larger and more notable phenomenon of AIDS denialism. MastCell Talk 20:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, even a source that explicitly discusses the shifting sets of alliances between these people link only mentions this group in passing. The group has no independent notability from its members. Tim Vickers (talk) 21:22, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/Delete/Possibly salt. Anything useful can be housed at AIDS denialism, the rest becomes a fringe POV coatrack nightmare. Salting may be needed to keep wikilink abuse to a minimum as well. -- Banj e  b oi   00:14, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/Delete. Either that or prove it's noteworthy. If it's noteworthy, then it needs to be re-written. Charonn0 (talk) 04:02, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
