The result was delete and there is a valid argument against the redirect, so I have not done so despite it being a potential AtD StarMississippi 03:56, 20 January 2023 (UTC)reply
@
Fiachra10003 As I published, I was aware that notability might be an issue, but chose to be bold. Although the Freedom News source seems to provide significant coverage, I presume it fails in reliability or independence?
In any case, I've searched quite exhaustively, and can find no other significant sources. If deletion is the right choice given the sources available now, so be it.
Thanks for keeping wikipedia encyclopedic! :)

Thank you, Douginamug, I hate that sinking feeling when a subject that I personally find interesting proves not to meet the
notability standards. The Freedom News source is a very good question, because that was the only source that wrote directly about the Glasgow Autonomous Space. As I noticed, it has a
wikipedia article of its own, but it is a website and biannual paper with a circulation of about 1,000. On the other hand, it's a very long-established newspaper, dating all the way back to
Peter Kropotkin. I would invite others to opine as to whether that is enough to meet the standards of
WP:NCORP.

I think even in the case that Freedom News is a significant source, there's still the matter that this would be the only significant source, failing the significant coverage requirement in
WP:ORGCRITE.

Belichickoverbrady Ah, so you think the Glasgow Times article fails notability? (I'm not trying to save this article, just want to get a better understanding for the future)

I wish self-organized spaces were run of the mill! I accept that it fails notability now, however. Thanks for bringing my attention to the essay.

comment while I recognize that we should consider WP:ATD when possible, I don't think this would be it. This sort of re-direct invites creating re-direct for every retail outlet, organization etc into "organizations in abc, companies in abc, collective in abc". In some cases, deletion is more appropriate and this would be one of them.
