Disputed prod. Web site fails notability. Only sources cited are itself and Alexa. Realkyhick 07:49, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete No significant sources. Nick mallory 10:02, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep They have a certain oddball notability. The Buffalo News mentions them and the Asian Tribune reprints them some.--T. Anthony 10:39, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to International Committee of the Fourth International. --Nonstopdrivel 13:07, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge might work as it's a short article.--T. Anthony 15:28, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I could go with that. Realkyhick 17:07, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep. Appears to be a conspiracy theory web site.--Edtropolis 14:39, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, having been mentioned by both American and Asian newspapers, there is likelihood that sufficient people have heard about it around the world, establishing some notability.--Kylohk 15:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep To what extent it's considered conspiracy theory will vary by political orientation. It's a lot more sober than most of the "classical" conspiracy sites. Now also hass a section in French. DGG 02:39, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Fairly well known website, and just look at how many articles on Wikipedia link to it. Serpent-A 04:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable website, at least 1-2 years ago it was one of the foremost leftwing websites worldwide. --Soman 17:27, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a venerable Trotskyist website which is well known in leftist circles. Sources will definitely be available from the left-wing press. —Psychonaut 16:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Post some sources and I'll gladly reconsider. I'm starting to be swayed toward notability anyway, even though the site's politics are polar opposite of my own. Realkyhick 21:11, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
