Podcast Link

If anyone is interested, I dug up a 2-hour podcast 5-1-07 May Day with the Brian MacKenzie Infoshop covering the Infostop and interviewing the owners. The podcast is already on an archive so the link should be good for a long time to come. Etriusus (talk) 22:07, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AFD

I have been looking at the sources (and potential expansion) for this page and I've found that the amount of information on the Infostop is limited at best. There is a podcast but it appears to not provide anything particularly notable besides basic biographical info on the store. I am unsure if the page and its associated coverage will ever be viable for anything more than a stub . I also struggle to see how, besides its association with a few anarchist groups, this page is viable per WP:NOTE.

Czar, Is there anything this location has that meets notability guidelines? Sources seem limited and seeing how it was around for only 5 years, it is unlikely that there will be anything new. Perhaps an expansion of or merger to the page Infoshop would be better. If there is nothing notable, I will AFD this page. Etriusus (talk) 03:17, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mujinga, since you edited this article, I thought you might be interested—would you have additional, reliable sources? Or a suggestion for a place to redirect/merge this content as an alternative to deletion? czar 03:37, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

hmm I'd say it's ok (just) to keep as a stub. i had a look around for sources, found a bit and chopped out the crud. lowman and fernandez provide sigcov in reliable sources. to my mind it's better to keep it stubbed about the specific project and as a blue link at list of self-managed social centers rather than to try to integrate into infoshop. i might find more if i dive into the academic literature since all the infoshops are/were networked Mujinga (talk) 15:37, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mujinga, I understand that redlinking the infoshop page and its associated template is not ideal. I will probably have to just agree to disagree on the sigcov issue. If the edits performed today were the totality of what is available, then the page may just exist as a permastub. That being said, it would be funny to see this page go through the GAN process (and probably set a record if it passed). All in all, I guess the page can continue to exist for the time being but it does push some limits.Etriusus (talk) 00:43, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
