Rasta (Congo)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Only one reference (it's the New York Times but we only have one article there) leading me to wonder if this name ever 'caught on'. Also, even though the reference is the Times there is something odd about the description.

The one reference names the Rasta as one group among those that are a topic of that article and may be quoting a non-authoritative source the name. (i.e. the Rasta are in the article rather than an article about 'them'.)

Without further referencing I think we should delete the article (after having it tagged for clean up since 2007). RJFJR (talk) 18:08, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tricky thing is, too, there are articles on attempts to practice Rastafarianism in central Africa that may use the abbreviated term Rastas in a totally different context. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:06, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
