Talk:99 Percent Declaration

Notability

Per WP:WEB, the document has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the site itself including such works as are listed in many of the article's references. Dualus (talk) 00:46, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

The draft was moved to User:Dualus/99 Percent Declaration as the article still does not appear to be independently notable of Occupy Wallstreet. If you believe otherwise, please prove sources that meet WP:GNG to demonstrate independent notability. --LauraHale (talk) 00:56, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

"Wall Street" is two words. Why do you say that it is not independently notable? The following non-trivial published works are independent of the site itself, and most of them meet the reliable source criteria for secondary sources:

2. Kennedy, A.L. (October 22, 2011) "Protesters Plan to Occupy Williamsburg" Williamsburg Yorktown Daily
3. Duda, C. (October 19, 2011) "Occupy Wall Street Protesters Call for National General Assembly, Put Forward Possible Demands" Juvenile Justice Information Exchange
4. Lopez, L. (October 19, 2011) "Finally! The Protesters Have Drafted A Set Of Demands For The Jobs Crisis" Business Insider
5. Haack, D. (October 24, 2011) "How the Occupy movement won me over" The Guardian
6. Kingkade, T. (October 18, 2011) "Occupy Wall Street Protesters Propose A National Convention, Release Potential Demands" Huffington Post

9. Moore, T. (October 25, 2011) "The Populist's Dilemma" Cornell Sun

Are there any reasons to believe otherwise? Dualus (talk) 01:14, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

• Comment: Does not meet WP:GNG. --LauraHale (talk) 02:16, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Why not? You didn't respond for over an hour to my question above. You did try to canvass someone with whom you have had no interactions independent of me[1] and try to delete questions concerning this article from your talk page[2][3]. Do you believe your actions are trying to improve the encyclopedia, or are you attempting to be retributive because of your opinion of my opinions? Dualus (talk) 02:26, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

LOL

I got a kick out of this story and I predict most editors will too. Dualus (talk) 10:40, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Comment. Irrespective of the question of notability, I'd warn that this page is probably full of OR and source misrepresentation; the creator, Dualus, does not understand WP:NOR and seems to have created this page in response to having the same material rejected for OR, source misrepresentation, and POV push at Occupy Wall Street. He's also inserted some of the exact same material (regarding Lessig) into the articles on Lawrence Lessig, Convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution, and "Occupy" protests, apparently because there aren't many editors watching those pages for policy violations.
