Deletion of Permanent Revolution (group)

Comment: Since this is one of a series of articles of a mass deletion effort, I'm going to state my case once again and will copy-paste it below — it holds for one and all. This is an encyclopedia. Certain things are considered automatically encyclopedia-worthy at Wikipedia: degree-granting universities, secondary schools, numbered roads, towns, species of plants and animals, and so on and so forth. In my earnest belief, political parties and their youth sections passing the standard of erifiability should automatically meet the standard of encyclopedia-worthiness, without regard to size or ideology. These are the subject of serious scholarship. The Hoover Institution, closely linked to Stanford University, in 1991 published the 25th annual edition of its ''Yearbook of International Communist Affairs,'' recording the history and activities of left wing parties like this. The scholar Robert J. Alexander authored an 1100 page volume called ''International Trotskyism, 1929-1985: A Documented Analysis of the Movement,'' published by Duke University Press and held by something like 180 libraries worldwide. There have been monographs written on Trotskyism in America (Constance Myers, ''The Prophet's Army: Trotskyists in America, 1928-1941,'' Greenwood Press, 1977; Breitman, LeBlanc, and Wald, ''Trotskyism in the United States: Historical Essays and Reconsiderations,'' Humanities Press, 1996) and Trotskyism in the UK (John Callaghan, ''British Trotskyism: Theory and Practice,'' Basil Blackwell, 1984). Yes, little sects such as this are tiny; no, you're not going to find stories on them in the ''New York Times.'' But they are the subject of scholarly inquiry and deserve notability per se on that basis, just like insects and professional football players are instantly notable if their existence is verified. There is no point to this mass deletion effort. It will annihilate information to no good purpose — serious information that BELONGS in a comprehensive encyclopedia. It's time to |Ignore All Rules to defend the quality of the encyclopedia and further, to amend the inadequate current notability guidelines for such organizations. And no, I'm not a Trotskyist and I don't play one on TV, if there were a similar series of attacks on right wing fringe parties I'd say the same thing
