No secondary sources, besides sparse one liners in Morning Star which is already not very reliable ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 21:28, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've expanded the page to include more information and draw on more secondary sources, including from the mainstream press. This organisation is clearly notable given its significant support from trade unions representing tens of thousands of workers, as well as elected politicians. It also provides crucial information about how different political tendencies have responded to the war in Ukraine. For these reasons, I say we keep the page. — Zcbeaton (talk) 13:48, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here is my summary of each the non-primary sources in article and why they do not show WP:Secondary WP:SIGCOV..

1. Interview with founder of USC Chris Ford^[1]
2. Article BY Chris Ford, founder of USC^[2]
3. A brief passing mention that they admire USC;^[3]
4. Brief mention of USC and USC Scotland.^[4]
5. Passing mention of USC^[5]
6. Morning Star (British newspaper) mentions that USC organised a demo, no more info^[6]
7. MP statement who co-founded USC^[7]
8. Trade unionist supports USC; no elaboration on it^[8]
9. No mention of USC, except one of the signatories^[9]

In short...I am not convinced that WP:42 has been achieved. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 23:25, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I think with the sourced expansion it is notable. Alextejthompson (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 16:39, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Which one? I methodically went through the nine sources and why they’re insufficient for establishing notability ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 09:21, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The additional sources have established notability.TH1980 (talk) 02:07, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Could the Keep arguments please specify which sources are sufficient, or explain why Shushugah's analysis of them is incorrect?

Nothing above meets WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth, @TH1980: or @Shushugah: could you clarify which sources you believe are independent and address the subject directly and indepth?  // Timothy :: talk  17:32, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TimothyBlue I do not believe SIGCOV is satisfied and have similarly examined each of the present sources. But perhaps @Alextejthompson or @Zcbeaton could expand? ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 17:38, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I confused your signature in the comment with another when copying it, thanks for the proper pings.  // Timothy :: talk  17:41, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
