Sourcing
editI've periodically searched for sourcing for this over the last several years and I'm arriving at the conclusion that it's a dictionary definition (wikt:popular assembly). Sources do not discuss "popular assembly" as some kind of distinct type of meeting—it simply refers to an assembly of a public. In that way, it's synonymous with "public assembly" or "people's/peoples assembly". A search of the Gale Reference Library (index of full-text encyclopedias) has nothing for those titles and alternatives. If it's important to cover "popular assembly" in the context of meetings (assemblies), could redirect, I suppose, but we don't have the sourcing here to support it and this article has been around for a decade. As for the Occupy Wall Street allusions, those would have to be the primary topic to warrant redirecting there to a section on meeting structure, as otherwise the aforementioned titles already have broader meanings as dictionary definitions. Any other thoughts? czar 14:30, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
