This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here) --Congha2540 (talk) 00:26, 3 September 2022 (UTC)I have seen that there is a major mistake across Wikipedia. A number of people with profiles such as Barbara Ehrenreich, who died today, worked for Seven Days magazine, a short-lived (1977-79) publication. But their biographies are linked to a different publication --Seven Days, an unrelated newspaper in Vermont. These are not the same publications. Seven Days, the magazine, only published for about three years, but it featured an all-star cast of socialist-leaning American writers. It was founded by David Dellinger, of the Chicago Seven. Barbara Ehrenreich, a leading writer on minimum wage workers, and Peter Biskind, a leading writer on Hollywood, both got their start at Seven Days. There is not much online that exists about Seven Days, the magazine, but I added some information and a photo of the cover and the staff list. I also fixed the links for all of the people who wrongly were identified on Wikipedia as having worked for the Vermont newspaper -- with which they had NO association. I realize the stub is only a beginning but I hope to add to it if I can find more online references. Wikipedia should not be identifying these people with a publication with which they had no association. So I am trying to make the website more accurate. So I request that you do not delete what i started in the hopes of making sure these profiles remain accurate.[reply]
Removing tie to WikiProject "Socialism", as I'm not seeing any source explicitly tying Seven Days to "socialism" – if anything, the David Dellinger-centric sources covering this period of his life suggest "anarchism" over "socialism" (but not explicitly enough to justify tying this article to WikiProject Anarchism, either). Happy to have this changed back with sufficient justification; otherwise we're just contributing to ongoing confusion about who exactly was "socialist" in the United States.
