Speedy deletion

This article is designated as a stub, therefore it should not be considered for deletion. Chesdovi (talk) 00:57, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The stub classification does not necessarily make a page immune from speedy deletion- this article has been this length since July 2007- nobody seems to be making the effort to expand it. If substantial information showing the relevance of the topic is not added soon, then I do continue to recommend this article for deletion. Please note that I am not an administrator, simply a frequent editor, and therefore I do not have any final say in whether this article is deleted or not. Rudy Breteler (talk) 01:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A stub provides a piece of information which is too short to be considered a full article. It shouldn't be deleted just because it has not been expanded, There are thousands of important stubs, e.g: Maluku Sovereignty Front, Doratogonus praealtus and Bashgul Valley.

Two years later, any reason to keep it? --ElComandanteChe (talk) 20:52, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have they been involved in any high profile activites since 2006? Chesdovi (talk) 21:14, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found nothing interesting, but I didn't really spent more than 5 minutes. The latest thing is "A delegation from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine traveled on October 24, 2009 to the occupied Syrian Arab Golan Heights to congratulate the freed prisoners, Bisher Suleiman Ahmad Maqt and Assem Mahmud Ahmed Wali, who were released on October 15 after 24 years in the jails of the occupation." here. Not even close to notability. --ElComandanteChe (talk) 21:23, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What about in Arabic sources? Chesdovi (talk) 21:34, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

lol --ElComandanteChe (talk) 21:48, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I love you lots too, but I don't read Arabic. Chesdovi (talk) 21:52, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This was most likely some kind of fake stunt by the government, not a real group. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 22:08, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Nominating AfD. --ElComandanteChe (talk) 22:26, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Secret Resistance Movement

This source describes a resistance movement active 27 years ago. One member, Sidqi Al-Maqt was released yesterday from Israeli prison after serving 27 years.

27 Years In captivity; Arab Detainee To Be Released Wednesday

I do not if Sidqi Al-Maqt was notable at the time, but now he is, as the longest serving Arab prisoner in Israel. The article could go to Secret Resistance Movement (Golan). -- Petri Krohn (talk) 18:19, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Secret Resistance Movement is a separate group from the Front for the Liberation of the Golan. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 18:28, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Front for the Liberation of the Golan Created by Syria?

Was the Front for Liberation of Golan created by Syria, or just supported and sponsored by Syria? Source 1 from the Washington Institute says it's "state authorized" which doesn't necessarily mean created. Source 2 from the SFGATE says "Amos Yadlin, head of Israeli military intelligence, said in July that Syria was creating a military force [...] He said it could well be the Front for the Liberation of the Golan Heights" Seems more like speculation. I don't know if I'm missing something, but I think we need better sourcing for this?
