*'''Delete''' SYNTH in making a claim that anyone who signs anything at all ''related'' to an organization is therefore a "member" of that organization. Uses such ''wonderful sources'' as Lewrockwell.com for conspiracy articles making such assertions. Violates [[WP:BLP]] by making implications that living persons engaged in a conspiracy. Violates [[WP:NPOV]] by failing to include a whit of balancing material about any person. Violates [[WP:RS]] by using sources which are clearly not usable for contentious claims about living persons. Uses the classic "[[guilt by association]]" fallacy through use of a table "connecting" individuals who are not otherwise "connected." And so on. I believe the proper term here is "POV pushing list making a POINT". To the extent that it intrinsically and deliberately violates multiple policies, it should not be "merged" but should be salted thoroughly. A neighbor of my aunt was caught up in McCarthyism, I see no reason to endorse that same logic today. [[User:Collect|Collect]] ([[User talk:Collect|talk]]) 14:55, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

The article is fundamentally flawed. It claims that the individuals listed were "members" of an organization, but only one of them is listed on the organization's website as members of the group's board of directors or as staff members. These individuals signed one of two documents produced by the organization. Describing them as "members" of the organization is WP:OR.

  • Delete SYNTH in making a claim that anyone who signs anything at all related to an organization is therefore a "member" of that organization. Uses such wonderful sources as Lewrockwell.com for conspiracy articles making such assertions. Violates WP:BLP by making implications that living persons engaged in a conspiracy. Violates WP:NPOV by failing to include a whit of balancing material about any person. Violates WP:RS by using sources which are clearly not usable for contentious claims about living persons. Uses the classic "guilt by association" fallacy through use of a table "connecting" individuals who are not otherwise "connected." And so on.
