Fails GNG, no long term lasting impacts from a single event based on a hoax Darkness Shines (talk) 00:36, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

• Hoaxes can be notable if widely covered by reliable sources (as is the case here). E.g. pizzagate. Volunteer Marek  06:49, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
• Delete - WTF is wikipedia becoming. - Netoholic @ 04:43, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

And this is a policy based argument for deletion how exactly?  Volunteer Marek  06:49, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

• Delete – Netoholic is right. This flash-in-the-pan is not encyclopedic. – S. Rich (talk) 07:13, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
• Merge or redirect to Refuse Fascism, where this is already covered in better detail, or perhaps to Antifa (United States). Just another short-lived hoax from Infowars and co, worth mentioning in other articles for its brief coverage in RS but not notable enough per EVENT for a separate article.

• Delete - could be worth a minor mention in some other article but hardly deserving of an article of its own. -- Longhair\^talk 10:45, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
• delete as bog-std. example of WP:NOTNEWS. Mangoe (talk) 14:59, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
• delete – majorly WP:NOTNEWS and no long term notability Natureium (talk) 15:12, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect: Per Natureium's reasoning. Also, this "article" blatantly violates WP:NPOV and reads as an attack page. The editor who created this page can't get enough in slapping the words "fake news", "conspiracy theory", and "false" in every spot he can possibly find. Also, he misrepresents sources. The TIME source refers to Fox News as "mainstream", but this article says "more established conservative media" when attacking FNC and referring to its mention in the source. Also, reading the FNC source itself (which oddly isn't even cited in the article), FNC admits that the organizers have no intention of violence (is WaPo also to blame for promoting this conspiracy theory?). Thus, this garbage should be deleted. The title can be redirect to the Refuse Fascism article. --1990'sguy (talk) 16:23, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

So you're saying that this "Antifa apocalypse" was NOT a conspiracy theory or fake? Can you point me to the closest smoldering ruins of our polity then? I somehow missed all the destruction and hellfire. No sources are being misrepresented, and I don't appreciate your accusation. Your bias is clouding your judgement. Volunteer Marek  16:29, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

• Merge to Antifa (United States). My very best wishes (talk) 20:20, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
• Delete - Trivial, barely 'news'. Topic will be forgotten in a week by anyone who's aware of it now. Cjhard (talk) 20:31, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
• Redirect to Refuse Fascism or merge into Antifa (United States) per WP:NOTNEWS. The main Antifa article does not seem to currently cover it, so in this case a simple redirect would not be enough. —PaleoNeonate – 21:25, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
• Redirect to Refuse Fascism#November_4.2C_2017 and/or merge info into Antifa (United States) - The necessary info has been covered well enough in Refuse Fascism. The Verified Cactus 100% 01:28, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
• Note: as the creator of this article I'm fine with it being merged, though I would prefer it be merged to the main Antifa article rather than the "Refuse Fascism" article, since I'm not sure if the latter one is even notable. Volunteer Marek  16:29, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
