Liberty League (Historic)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article does not meet notability requirements. A one time newspaper ad placed by a few celebrities in 1920 does not a "political organization" make. The Liberty League was disbanded less than a year later and accomplished no significant acts or deeds, political or otherwise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrSangChi (talk • contribs) 21:49, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

 * A misconceived nomination. The question is whether the organisation was noticed by multiple independent sources, and got coverage, which I'm sure it did, not whether it accomplished anything significant.Rathfelder (talk) 22:33, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with Rathfelder. The book sources cited in the article, along with others found by searches such as this, demonstrate notability. The fact that this organisation only lasted a short time before being absorbed into National Propaganda doesn't stop it from being notable. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:15, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. The subject was of short duration but it is notable (e.g. extensive write up in The British Empire: A Historical Encyclopedia) and still invoked today (e.g. by the Foundation for Economic Education in articles such as this). The article clearly offers encyclopaedic value. -The Gnome (talk) 13:05, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep for the reasons given above. Mccapra (talk) 04:32, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
