Jewish Left-Wing Community
Non-notable, and if it is, then a blank article is better than this failure of WP:NPOV. Original PROD was removed, so "full" AfD. &mdash; RevRagnarok  Talk Contrib 03:01, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment If you like, I'll do some research and write a proper article? (87.74.34.16 03:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC))
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Judaism-related deletions.  - CrazyRussian talk/email 03:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless POV issues resolved. Name should be Politics of Jewish-Americans or some such NPOV term. Possibly a rethink along the lines of Jewish-American political advocacy groups in the United States would work, too (but may be too narrow). --Dhartung | Talk 07:43, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Changing name to Politics of Jewish-Americans would not be appropriate, because this (as it stands) is not an article about left-wing Jews in general, but rather one particular (small & non-notable) group of left-wing Jews. Furthermore, the "Jewish-American" part, or the "in the United States" bits wouldn't be appropriate either, because this group is not specifically American, but rather multinational (founded in Israel, brances in London/New York/Toronto. That said, if someone was to write a balanced & unbiased article on Jewish-American politics (or maybe a better term might be Diaspora Jewish politics), that would be a good contribution. --SJK 07:57, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I think you mean NNPOV rather than NPOV, Revragnarok. NNPOV is non-neutral point of view, while NPOV is neutral point of view. :-) -- Kjkolb 11:07, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment yeah, yeah, I meant violates NPOV. Tweaked the wording... &mdash; RevRagnarok  Talk Contrib 13:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Wait. Provide two weeks to enable someone to independently source notability (as well as size and other claimed characteristics for which a group's own literature cannot be a reliable source, there are currently NO sources other than the group's own website.) Delete unless notability established per WP:WING as Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a billboard for every group's manifesto. If notability is established and the article is kept, call it by e.g. the initials JLWC or similar, since the article is on a very small, very specific political group of anarchists and marxists with a specific platform, and it may confuse people interested in reading about Jews involved in left-wing politics generally. --Shirahadasha 22:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * On reflection, Transwiki. The group might feel more at home, and might actually get more interest and responses, transwikiing their content to Anarchopedia, the "people's encyclopedia" and a self-described experiment in anarchy. Unfortunately WP:WWIN. Comparatively speaking, we're actually a pretty staid bunch here. --Shirahadasha 23:01, 23 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete I don't have serious NPOV objections to the article but this looks like an NN group. Article can be re-entered if and when the group becomes more notable.  As it is, this is too spamlike. Phr (talk) 10:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable group. Dhartung's ideas for articles could work, but this article isn't any of those. Jacqui ★ 13:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
