Delete as virtually identical article at La Riposte (Quebec) was deleted in May. See Articles for deletion/La Riposte (Quebec). No independent verification of notability, most sources are linked to sources related to the organization (the "In Defence of Marxism" website is run by La Riposte's parent, the International Marxist Tendency; Fightback is La Riposte's sister organization in English Canada, and TMI is the organization itself). Of the two other sources one,a Daily Telegraph obituary of Ted Grant makes no reference whatsoever to La Riposte or Quebec; the second, an attack article from the International Communist League fails Identifying_reliable_sources. Overall, this article fails the notability standards and other tests set out in WP:ORG, WP:NGO and WP:N. Downwoody (talk) 00:32, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I commented on the last AfD that it's not notable, and nothing has changed. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:34, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree; on a brief search I found nothing to make me disagree with the opinions above.  This may need salt. Ubelowme U  Me  15:29, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep The statements in the article are verified by reliable sources. As far as notability is concerned, the term is used more often to refer to La Riposte (France), with fewer searches yielding the paper in Quebec. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 08:38, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm surprised, because I think I've seen this publication in town. Yet I can find no bona fide French-language WP:RS, not one. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:07, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
