 * Delete. Current article is a mess - and sourcing does not meet anything close to required for WP:NORG. In my BEFORE I was able to find some coverage of a motion they attempted to pass at AHA - which mainly discusses the motion. I was also able to find some coverage in - The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America, David Horowitz - however that's mostly on the people involved in the organization and not on the organization itself. In short - sourcing meeting WP:ORGCRIT does not seem to be available. Icewhiz (talk) 23:25, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete noting that page is so disheveled that it is not clear which war this organization opposed. Page has been tagged for improved on multiple counts since 2012. All sources on page are primary, and very few hits turned up in searches I ran, certainly not enough to support notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:16, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - ephemeral academic political work that pretty much fizzled out after the group's political goals were achieved in late 2008. The wars they argued against lived on, but by then it made no political sense for the academics to carry on; the website remained, but as a dying group, not much happened afterwards, with the rump organization itself calling the period "mostly passive".  A couple of meetings took place in the years afterwards, with the organizers calling them "feel good" but "hardly anyone did" join anymore.  Whatever remains has even changed its name now.  Most refs on the article are to the organization's own website.  Does not meet WP:GNG.  Time to consign to the dustbin of history. XavierItzm (talk) 17:06, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Trivial and no evidence of lasting notability shown. Kierzek (talk) 17:43, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
