This article discusses a conspiracy theory that only appears in one publication and one webpage of the LaRouche movement, and perhaps in some even less reliable sources. A chunk is copied verbatim from the LaRouche publication.[http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:vHVv5ZFEMSEJ:www.larouchepub.com/other/2005/3224x_committee.html+refers+to+senior+Reagan-era+Pentagon+officials+suspected+of+deploying+Israeli+spy+Jonathan+Jay+Pollard,+but+never+caught.+Among+those+still+playing+pivotal+roles+today+in+Washington+are+Richard+Perle,+Michael+Ledeen,+Paul+Wolfowitz,+Frank+Gaffney,+and+Douglas+Feith.&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk] The article has been tagged for notability since May 2009. I PRODded it, and the creator responded by merging it into Views of Lyndon LaRouche, which didn't address any of the problems with the material. The "Views" article has already been the dumping ground for articles on other obscure, non-notable theories of the LaRouche movement, and adding this doesn't help the article, so a merger is not a good option unless the material is substantially improved. I think it's better to just delete it.   Will Beback  talk  20:30, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete Im finding it difficult to find any reliable sources that can be used with the article. As for a merge Im inclined to agree that it would be difficult to merge into Views of Lyndon LaRouche without improvement in POV. Ottawa4ever (talk) 20:54, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete Insufficient notability. I considered transwiking, but it's too much of a made up one day descriptor. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:30, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
  • STRONG KEEP - This is a relevant article providing valuable added information to Wikipedia. Please stop the overzealous policing and deletion of Wikipedia articles. Furthermore, this meets each of Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_pillars Five Pillars] which explicitly states they are the only five rules, rendering all other arguments irrelevant.Aliveatoms (talk) 00:55, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
