:({{Find sources AFD|title=Revolutionary Communist Workers Movement of Turkey}})

Was deprodded last month by Soman who said there are plenty of sources - but they have not yet specified any. I found https://www.marxists.org/archive/altinoglu/2000/07/x01.htm but on its own that is not enough to show notability. There have probably been thousands of political parties in Turkish history. If this is notable why is there no Turkish article? Chidgk1 (talk) 17:23, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

• Keep - TDKİH was a notable group during its period of existence. For sourcing, see for example Türkiye'de sol örgütler: bölüne bölüne büyümek (Hüseyin Aykol, Phoenix yayınevı, 2010, covering its processs from formation until merger into MLKP), Sosyalist devrim teorisi (NK Yayınları, 2005, on the ideological line of TDKIH and its polemics with TDKP), Derin sol: çatışmalar, cinayetler, infazlar, Vol. 1] (Hakkı Öznur, Bilgeoğuz, 2006, on unity process with TKIH), 50 Jahre Migration aus der Türkei nach Österreich (Hüseyin Simsek, LIT Verlag Münster, 2017, on process from split with KHK to foundation of MLKP), Cumhuriyetin 75 yılı, Vol. 3] (Yapı Kredi Kültür Sanat Yayıncılık, 1998, factoid on action at Istanbul Aksaray), briefly mentioned [http://www.marksistteori5.org/31-proleter-dogrultu/sayi-11-temmuz-agustos-1997/598-mlkp-nin-tarihin-dol-yatagina-dustugu-an-birlik-devrimi.html here], etc. Now, for an illegal underground faction that existed 1989-1994, two things need to be stressed - 1) for underground organizations that lived before WWW, the volume of online material isn't excessive. Presumably there was plenty of coverage on TDKIH actions in the contemporary Turkish press (like what is carried into the Cumhuriyet book), but it cannot be found easily online. It is possible that Albanian media covered the positions of the group as well. But there are stuff that we are unlikely to find anywhere, such as names of the leaders (as a secret, illegal group). 2) Most later accounts focus on TDKIH role as forerunner of MLKP, rather than a fully separate group. --Soman (talk) 18:17, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
• Keep There are (or were) a lot of these stub articles on different communist organisations world-wide. It would be an improvement if someone developed them, added sources, etc. The lack of information on these organisations online, is because of when the internet came into general use. It is not evidence of their lack of notability.-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:28, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
