The Base (hate group)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An article about this organization was recently deleted at Articles for deletion/The Base (platform). There is no disputing that this group exists, but neo-Nazi groups are not exactly rare, especially these days. Seems to be your run-of-the-mill small group with nothing to make it notable.

 * Keep Coverage of this level suggests, some even say proves, notability. I’m not sure I see any actual argument for deletion in OP’s post, do you think you can be more specific as to what wikipedia policies you are nominating the page for deletion under? If I’m reading it right this entry is for the group itself and the previously deleted entry was for a social media platform created by the group, I don’t think the arguments from the previous AfD apply here.

 * Based on the deleted text it appears to be the same group and "concept". It wasn't really a platform, just an extremist group. tedder (talk) 20:48, 10 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep. I just did a quick expansion of major stories with a zillion sources, I just searched for '"neo-nazi" "the base"' and didn't even get through the first page to source several paragraphs. tedder (talk) 20:46, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

 * I withdraw the nomination based on a new article in the Washington Post. These arrests will likely lead to more coverage in national newspapers. Bitter Oil (talk) 17:50, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
