Notability

edit

I see this article was deleted twice in the past, so honus is on me to explain its notability. Asides from stating obvious facts, that Libcom.org is an important website amongst anarchists, and is reflected even among anarchist literature with 3,500+ mentions in Google Scholar, I've enclosed a chapter by Croeser, that extensively examines the usage/online behaviours of users on Libcom.org. I would argue this passes WP:BASIC and WP:WEBCRIT as I would argue it has a demonstrable influence in the field of anarchism, including academia Shushugah (talk) 02:02, 28 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

In case someone wants to use them in the article, the following sources (some of them criticised) were mentioned in the 3rd delete nomination discussions:

  • Sky Croeser chapter on Libcom in Social Media Materialities and Protest, "Rethinking networked solidarity"
  • Ephemeral Journal paper on Music and Anarchism, writes a short paragraph reviewing 163 posts made on LibCom.org [1],
  • Zones of Proletarian Development refers to LibCom as "A more comprehensive list of autonomous libertarian activities which resist 'intrusive intervention' can be found on the excellent Libertarian Communist website https://libcom.org" [2],
  • The Palgrave Handbook of Anarchism where Libcom is described as "a hub for libertarian communist ideas" (Chapter 5)
  • This journal article where in an overview of contemporary British anarchism Franks and Kinna (both leading British anarchist academics) list it as "Libcom.org : primary resource for UK anarchists : lively forums, news, blogs, information and support and an extensive library"
  • Article slagging off libcom in The Brooklyn Rail.
