Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Columbia University Chapter of SDS
As it it is completely unreferenced original research which violates  by naming a great many persons as faculty or student radicals or communists. This cannot persist. With no referencs required, anyone could name anyone, and this would be considered libel by some. The original article and the present version are both unreferenced narrative. They do not belong in Wikisource, ulless they cite a reliable source to say "So and so planned the library sit-in" etc. From other sources over the years I have read accounts of the SDS and its growth nationwide in the late 1960's which bear out the broad strokes of this, and sources exist to verify the notability of the SDS at Columbia, right up there with the Berkely Free Speech movement. So stub this  rambling original research reminiscence essay down, then use references to create an encyclopedic article which satisfies  and . But stating that so and so was a leading student radical is right up there with the Siegenthaler libel. The New York Times had articles on the events described, without the details about whose apartment some action was planned in, and could be a source. Various national magazines and scholarly books have also reviewed student radicalism in the 1960's and could be used as sources. Did the creator of the article state that it was all from his personal observation? Well, Wikipedia is not an appropriate place to publish it
