surdism/rourkeism[edit]

I'm not convinced that the redlink to Surdism is helpful without context. Surdists United (surdistsunited.com) is a recently (2014) established organization. The surdist manifesto (https://surdistsunited.com/devia-history/surdism-manifesto/) was published by fr:Arnaud Balard in 2009. I don't think it's notable enough to warrant a standalone article. Rourkeism is something Rourke does, and if such an page existed, it would be a redirect to this page. A paragraph about these topics might be better.

Good Point[edit]

That is a really good point! Whilst I have learned about deaf culture, I do not feel at all knowledgeable enough to write a section on surdism and encourage someone who knows more than me and understands it better to expand this page. Mk170101 (talk) 14:14, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
