Stop the Draft

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I think we have to delete this article about a 1980 student organization as unverifiable. No sources have been given, although the article has been around for almost 2 years; and an expert review request to WikiProject Seattle turned up none either. Apart from a user's comment on the talk page, a local from Seattle, who remembers having heard about this organization on the radio back then, there's no evidence that the information is factually correct, and that the organization is notable. -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B.

 * Delete - This is what I said 9 months ago, when I tagged for notability: I can't verify anything via Google, somewhat problematic since the org title is a pretty common phrase, but limiting to "Stop the Draft" + "University of Washington" + "petition" doesn't return much. It doesn't look promotional, but I have my doubts that a 65-member student org is notable (most aren't). - Aagtbdfoua 11:29, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Calling this a Non notable organisation is giving it too much status although, you know, as there is no draft and wasn't a draft in 1980 then I suppose you can say they were a startling success.  Nick mallory 11:40, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete non-notable student organisation with (per the article) "over sixty-five active members" at its height, and it existed for a whopping 18 months. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete, no verification. Gazpacho 02:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: this stuff about the U.W. is non-notable in itself, but do we have an article at all on the resistance to the revival of the Selective Service under Carter? - Jmabel | Talk 02:30, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I also notice that this is unreferenced, so it's not partiularly a useful starting point for such an article. - Jmabel | Talk 21:25, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is, at best, a non notable student organization. --Stormbay 17:08, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
