Data for Black Lives as a social movement?

I am not seeing any related citations supporting the claim that "Data for Black Lives" is a social movement? I am only seeing it as a non-profit that works in the social movement space. The claim was removed today, feel free to add it back with a reliable source (see WP:RS). Joojay (talk) 21:09, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this assessment and removal. Nice job editing this article, still work to be done but it is much improved. --Wil540 art (talk) 21:16, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PR

@MrsSnoozyTurtle: you tagged without comments, can you please clarify which sources are poor sources, and how is this "PR"? I am seeing sources from the New York Times, MIT Technology Review, The Brown Daily Herald, etc. Joojay (talk) 02:50, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The text seems favourable towards the organisation, please see Sea Shepherd Conservation Society as a better example. MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:21, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MrsSnoozyTurtle: Which text? If you're going to tag things on WP, they need to be more specific. Especially since this is a topic noted for having biases. Joojay (talk) 22:43, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
