• CommentThere are references from RS, but have they done anything notable? --Shuki (talk) 01:45, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't able to find any sign of activity or any other specific information (leadership, financing, members, published documents, etc.) --ElComandanteChe (talk) 09:38, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we need imput from an Arabic speaker, after all, this is an Arab group. Chesdovi (talk) 10:15, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The cited sources establish notability. Whether the organization exists anymore is irrelevant. Jalapenos do exist (talk) 21:37, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Has 3 sources. That should be sufficient for notability. Being short does not mean it should be deleted. Linda Olive (talk) 22:55, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The organisation is not notable per WP:ORG. Being simply mentioned in news is not enough:

Deep coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond routine announcements and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about an organization

In our case, all the available information is based on a single, four years-old statement by anonymous Syrian official that provided only the following information: "the new Syrian resistance group is calling itself the Front for the Liberation of the Golan, and is already in the process of being formed". --ElComandanteChe (talk) 23:49, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep reasonably good evidence for both existence and significance. DGG ( talk ) 00:38, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
