 * Delete article has existed since 2004 and has never had any non PRIMARY sources. Delete as  PROMO for the apparently non-notable Socialist Viewpoint magazine.  (If anyone manages to source this page, feel free to ping me to reconsider,) but gBook searches for the mag  and the org  show nothing, while gNews search  shows hits on other orgs with the same name.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:42, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to Rod Holt where it’s worth a mention, but not independently notable. Mccapra (talk) 19:04, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * User:Mccapra, Could you expand on that suggestion?  I see that according to the page, Holdt was one of the 6 founders of this org.  But are there sources?  Or a particular reason for the merge, aside from the fact that Holt has a page and the other 5 co-founders do not?E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:33, 5 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment Without a lot of time and contextual knowledge it’s hard to research these small Trotskyist factions because they’re an alphabetti spaghetti of overlapping names with mergers, splits, etc. and it would take more bandwidth than I have to unravel one from another. I’m pretty sure from what I can find that this one isn’t independently notable but my view is that there is encyclopaedic value in having a fairly complete picture of Fourth International movements, and if we knock them all out for lack of mainstream coverage we’ll leave a significant hole. So yes, rather than lose it altogether I’d prefer to attach it to something we”re keeping, and given that Holt is notable and was a founder, that seemed an appropriate place for a mention.

 * Delete - not notable under WP:NGO, which requires that "The scope of their activities is national or international in scale." - this is a minor splinter group, even the webiste for their magazine, Socialist Viewpoint, says, "our numbers are insufficient for this crucial project of party building." - Epinoia (talk) 15:50, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
