The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Delete. I agree with Tyrenius that it would be wonderful to have article, even a stub, on this subject; but, the content here doesn't belong in that article, even within its history, given its WP:OR nature, and its suspicious copyright status.

[edit] Rural journalism in Pakistan

• Delete entire article is an essay. I thought it might be speedable by copyvio but don't have a link to any page where it was copied from so wasn't sure whether to put up tag. Jersey Devil 06:28, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Personal essay.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  07:09, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - move to WP:BJAODN. --Sunfazer | Talk 10:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. DarthVader 12:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as personal essay. Too long and dull for BJAODN, and might be a copyvio anyway. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:18, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete as likely copyvio, largely because the piece has a byline "Umair Raheel" and was posted by Hassansidd. If permission can be shown, I'd be inclined to keep and cleanup this. Doesn't seem to be trying to be funny, and it does convey some information about journalism in rural Pakistan. Smerdis of Tlön 18:12, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep even reduced to a stub if necessary. Important topic. I have placed tags for verify and wikify. Tyrenius 20:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
