Result: Consensus to delist, due to citation issues. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:22, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A GA from 2007. I have two problems. One is the citation issues being

  • The modus operandi of the FALN was to perform bombing and incendiary actions and then admit responsibility through press releases. The first of these news releases announced the group's intention; in this document they admitted responsibility for attacks on several locations in New York to weaken the "Yanki capitalist monopoly", and demanded the release of five political prisoners, these were: Lolita Lebrón, Oscar Collazo, Rafael Cancel Miranda, Andres Figueroa and Irvin Flores. In this communique the organization warns that they had opened two fronts, in Puerto Rico and the United States respectively, the goal of these were to organize a People's Revolutionary Army which they expected would "rid Puerto Rico of Yanki colonialism". Both fronts were supported and maintained by allies within Puerto Rico and North America.
  • FALN prisoner Oscar López Rivera rejected the 1999 Clinton pardon. U.S. president Barack Obama later commuted his sentence, and López Rivera was released in May 2017, after 36 years in prison. He had been incarcerated longer than any other member of the FALN.

and that's it. However, I also have problems with broadness. First of all, the philosophy section is a single sentence paragraph. Along with that, the article just seems small in general for 30 year long american terrorist organization. A quick google search shows that there are possibly some sources you could possibly use to expand it. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:02, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am not sure what you are proposing or suggesting. It sounds like you are suggesting/proposing it be demoted from GA or that it be stripped of GA status. Is that it? If so, I would agree. For one thing those references to latinamericanstudies.org and nycop.com are references to WP:SPS and I just replaced them with cite needed tags. Mercy11 (talk) 02:44, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
