Truth Movement
Propaganda -- no other way to put it, really -- for a whole bunch of unrelated leftier-than-thou beliefs, lumped together to look like something comprehensive and bigger. Calton | Talk 03:54, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Update - The page has been entirely rewritten. Keep in mind that the 'Truth Movement' is something very new. Those who might be able to define it are presently those who are participating. One might reasonably say that this would not result in an objective definition. This page was written by people with direct experience of the movement, in the sincere attempt to reasonably define a term that has recently entered the popular parlance. Logical critique will receive a logical response. 71.247.64.215 04:29, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Question: So how is this different from a (hypothetical) article Kindness Movement on "an emerging social movement comprised of many independent groups and individuals" working to promote kindness? What evidence do we have that this Truth Movement exists outside the minds of users Sneet and 71.247.64.215? Who determines which groups and individuals are part of this? Can you explain (from a neutral point of view) why the LaRouche Movement shouldn't be mentioned here? --Lambiam Talk 15:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep Truth is notable, it sometimes adds commercials on the tube, and the organization(s) seemingly try to show what bad is going on in the world, such as the status of tobacco victims. May change my vote to Delete, though. Funnybunny (talk/Counter Vandalism Unit) 04:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I didn't know that this isn't the truth I was talking about. Change my vote to Delete. Funnybunny (talk/Counter Vandalism Unit) 21:38, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


 * This isn't the same as TheTruth.com, which runs the anti-tobacco ads you're thinking of. I say delete per nom.  -- stubblyh ea d | T/c 16:11, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - if it's kept, there needs to be a major POV overhaul. --fuzzy510 05:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as presently unverifiable.  I'm skeptical that these groups are referred to collectively as the "Truth Movement."  A Google search for +"truth movement" -"9/11" -911 -"feldman's truth" (to pare off the 9/11 truth movement and something called Corey Feldman's Truth Movement") turns up less than 1000 hits. This article is not about TheTruth.com, the group that runs anti-smoking tv commercials. Шизомби 05:29, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete for reasons given by nominator and Шизомби. DVD+ R/W 05:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol delete vote.svg|20px]] Delete -- so much original and non-verifiable research here I don't know where to start. Violates pretty much all of the WP:RS, WP:V, and WP:OR rules, and WP:What Wikipedia is not.  Morton devonshire 06:15, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for the following reason. The article defines "the" Truth Movement as a decentralized network, a loose conglomeration of forces. I see no evidence that the term is used as such outside this article; in other words, it appears to be a protologism. Other objections are repairable. --Lambiam Talk 08:47, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete we don't need two pages on the exact same topic. This is a fork.--Jersey Devil 10:25, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * delete as per above Wombdpsw 05:46, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Шизомби and Lambiam, and bordering on nonsense.  &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 18:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article is spectacularly vague. The "Truth Movement" could include any mildly left-wing group, I guess... There seems to be no hard evidence that there is any group (or group of groups) that is referred to like this. Grand  master  ka  03:58, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * delete per everyone.  Grue   07:38, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
