After a brief flash of interest in May, interest has evaporated. There are currently zero Google News hits for this, under 250 unique Google hits http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22People+Against+Censorship%22&start=280 and under 200 unique hits from the blogosphere http://www.google.co.uk/blogsearch?hl=en&q=%22People+Against+Censorship%22&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&start=180

Looks to me as if once the furore about Inmus died down, there was not much left to say or do. Merge to Don Inmus would be OK, but I can't see any evidence that this group has any lasting cultural or historic impact. Just another vapid cry of "censorship!" at the firing of a loudmouth, basically. Guy (Help!) 18:13, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's new and it should be given some time. It has references. M.V.E.i. 21:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The article wa sstarted by one of the group almost immediately it was founded. Thing is, though, that continuing coverage appears to be non-existent.  It's a news event, not an encyclopaedia subject. Guy (Help!) 21:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete It was new back in April or May, and if it didn't fade after it got its 30 seconds of fame, I don't think it's going to be doing anything now. In fact, we're already forgetting the Rutgers basketball team and Don Imus, and nobody remembers the other guy, what's his name... Mandsford 21:54, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This group passed like a fart under the sheets. Non-notable. MarkBul 23:54, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree that it isn't appropriate as an encyclopedia article ... there simple is too little info, it reads like a news report. That said, it is unfortunate no one interested in current events wrote a Wikinews article ... it could then stay there (but can't now due to licensing issues).  --Iamunknown 01:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, nothing at all in Google News Archive and only one trivial current Google News result. No prejudice against recreation when and if they actually have an impact, but that doesn't seem to have happened yet. --Dhartung | Talk 04:41, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep, I have seen members of the PAC on CNN and other news programs recently. They're continuing to be active, and have plenty of hits on Google.  MauriceReeves 18:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Move then delete, Why not just move some of this info into the Imus article, which is the majority of it anyway? If they ever really take off, they can go back to their own page. -- Rick Warner - 4:05, 13 September 2007 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.68.226 (talk)
