This page looks like a blatant political advertising, either by the owner or by fans. There does not appear to be sufficient third-party sources to establish notability or verify much information. Subject has a YouTube channel with relatively few subscribers and no independent coverage whatsoever.All available sources regarding Maoist Rebel News appear to be blogs, social media, or associated with Maoist Rebel News.

This page is definitely a blatant act of political advertising for the MRN YouTube channel, evident by the fact that the supporters of MRN are constantly trying to remove evidence that indicates that the Maoist Rebel News network has in fact plagiarized from the World Socialist Website. Should an encyclopedia be used to promote some relatively unknown YouTube channel with a user known for plagiarism? See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5sbUU2Zto4&feature=channel_video_title for proof of plagiarism.

- Keep Not adveristing, also there is no proof that he plagiarzed. Also, this is not adversiting. Give me one section that is adversiting and I will change it or debunk it. 204.195.30.8 (talk) 21:04, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - The link proving the plagiarism has been shown repeatedly, yet it keeps getting taken down by MRN's supporters (makes the neutrality disputable). Other people have shown (the Wiki page in itself is proof of this) that the article is an act of advertising for the MRN (again, set up by MRN supporters, only "external links" with info about it are blogs and websites related to MRN, etc., MRN supporters keep trying to hide the evidence if plagiarism). They have also shown that the MRN YouTube channel only has a small handful of subscribers and is not well known enough to warrant an encyclopedia article.
