This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

MODERATORS
It's marked for deletion because this article was created in response to what happened in Canada. He is only notable for one event, which only just happened, and as per Wikipedia's One Event rule he is not notable enough to warrant an article about him. Or at least, that's what the process of marking it for deletion is supposed to decide on.
What about the events in WW2?
Notability is a term used in Wikipedia to refer to how often it's cited by secondary sources. Specifically: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline
There is no notability for this guy outside one event, so the article is better focused on the event rather than the person (which is what the talk page is leaning towards)
Well it's probably rapidly getting more especially that entire fuckup is still spinning.
What a convenient policy to delete anything not "notable".
I spent a lot of time fighting the BS on Wikipedia. I went from getting I think 6 accounts banned to voting for administrators and editing some of the policy articles.
What came from it in the end was, yes, there are malicious actors and people with agendas on Wikipedia. But Wikipedia is one of the darkest rabbit holes on the internet, and those policies were crafted over literal decades of people arguing - and there is no better set of policies out there. I'm pretty sure their policies beat literal national policies.
So while from time to time I fight the BS, at the end of the day their policies are the best they can be to get the most verifiably accurate version out there. Anything else would allow more BS than currently exists.
So there's a separate article about the event and he should just be mentioned there? It doesn't merit two separate articles?
Cool, where's the article about the Canadian parliament honoring him?

The general sentiment seems to be heavily in favor of either keeping the article as is, or rewriting it to be about the event.
It's interesting how Wikipedia is accused of bias from all sides, by people who can't be bothered to figure out how it works.
So there's not an article about the event yet?
No. Because, for whatever reason, the person who first decided to write an article chose to write it about the person instead of the event.
You could write an article yourself if you wanted.
The article about the person is still up.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_process
Someone proposed deletion due to the subject not being notable. The next step is finding a consensus.
Currently it looks to me like the article gets to remain as is.
This is what I mean by not bothering to understand how it works.
People shouldn't have to pour over pages of documentation, debates and policies to read an online wiki that's crazy
