Reasonable critique appeared on the Talk page for SFC today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Students_for_Free_Culture
"Complete rewrite necessary, AfD possible Currently article seems to fail WP:NOTABILITY, and is a huge WP:SOAPBOX. The only question which is not clear to me is if it is 100% WP:SOAP, or just 99% WP:SOAP. In addition, it is a complete mess (just one example: what is "SCDC" which is referred to all over the place? It is not defined in the article at all). If somebody can clean it up, removing all the inappropriate primary sources (primary source for statements like "has over 30 chapters" is certainly inappropriate) and speculations (example: "These protests may have served as inspiration"), and also to establish connection between 3rd-party articles and this organization (in particular, to provide proof that chapters indeed consider themselves as a part of "Students for Free Culture" - even primary source statement will be IMHO ok in this case but to qualify as WP:RS, it should come from chapter, not from "Students for Free Culture"!), it would be great. If not, I will try to perform such clean up myself, but as I don't know certain things (for example, how to prove relations between chapters and umbrella organization), it might result in removing too many references, which in turn might eventually result in AfD (if after cleaning up irrelevant/unprovable stuff there are no references to prove notability - it doesn't belong on Wikipedia).
