No such organization, supporters are not organized. Can find no reference that supports organization. References are not for a specific organization, but rather for a group of unrelated supporters. Perhaps a merge to Bundy standoff. reddogsix (talk) 01:47, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The article has enduring notability, historic value, and highly developed content with cites. Objecting to deletion and deletion tagging, because there are numerous reputable news organization cites[1][2][3][4][5] showing the validity of the title[1][5][6][7] of this article, and cites showing the existence of the Bundy militia.[2][1][5] Numerous videos, newspaper articles, and imagery exist documenting militia members signing up to join the militia.[3] The contents of the article includes cites. Let wikipedia editors do their work in documenting and improving this article, don't squelch it in its infancy. Recommending removal of the deletion notice.Baleywik (talk) 03:20, 19 April 2014 (UTC)Baleywik (talk) 07:56, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bundy standoff is an article about a 20 year legal dispute, although it contains some Bundy-related conflicts. The Bundy militia article is specifically about the Bundy militia movement organization itself. They are quite different things.Baleywik (talk) 03:20, 19 April 2014 (UTC) Baleywik (talk) 03:17, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No such organization exists. This is just a fork to put content while the main page has been locked down because of inappropriate attempts to edit war original research into the article. [1] Baleywik is also inappropriately canvassing on the Bundy standoff talk page. We need some more administrator coverage to snip these problems in the bud. 173.153.4.250 (talk) 04:30, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete None of the sources cited use the phrase 'Bundy Militia' except the KLAS article, and that uses it only in its headline; it does not appear within the body of the text. No source that I could find (outside reddit & blogs) makes the explicit claim that there is an actual entity called 'The Bundy Militia'. I found no statements to that effect by any of the participants, not even from Cliven Bundy. No Official Document, no uniforms, no apparent continuance of the loose and informal coalition as the situation defuses. There is no such thing as The Bundy Militia. (Also, I'm afraid it must be noted that the main advocate above, User:Baleywik, is also the creator and primary author of the contested article. For this and other reasons I don't feel this editor's advocacy is entirely neutral in this case.) Eaglizard (talk) 18:20, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
NB: I found nothing in this article that merits inclusion in Bundy standoff, except perhaps the statement that Bundy "sent letters entitled "Range War Emergency Notice and Demand for Protection" to county, state, and federal officials". Nearly all the facts in this article merely recap the existing 'standoff' article. This is why I do not support a merge.Eaglizard (talk) 18:25, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - When I originally AfD the article, I suggested a possible merge. However, as I look at the evidence and support, I believe a deletion is a better solution than a merge. reddogsix (talk) 01:16, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Delete or Merge The organization is not noit notable and appears mostly as response to the single event. Bundy doesn't appear to have any control or authority so the title is problematic as well. --DHeyward (talk) 04:35, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No such organization exists. Any encyclopedic content that has been added to the page should certainly be considered for Bundy standoff or perhaps Domestic_terrorism#Examples (depending on if the situation evolves into any bloodshed), but generally the article can only serve as a future lighting rod for edit wars and NPoV language.
