[edit] Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity

Delete Article fails WP:NOT Aeon 15:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Again, Aeon1006, please provide detailed rationales in your deletion nominations. How does the article violate WP:NOT? Uncle G 16:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and wikify. The article is a mess, but the subject seems notable. 66,600 google hits, including articles about the group in Mother Jones, [1] and FoxNews.com [2]. --djrobgordon 17:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and wikify per djrobgordon. --waffle iron talk 18:54, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete -- yet another Wikipedia article used by a group's advocates to try to create the impression that it's notable -- it's not, so the article violates WP:NOT. Wikipedia is not a place for WP:OR, or for soapboxing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox. The information contained in the article is not supported by reputable sources, and as such violates WP:RS and WP:V -- citing to blogs is not appropriate under Wikipedia policy. Morton DevonshireYo
  • Keep, looks notable to me. Last I checked, Fox News and the New York Times weren't blogs and they seem to think the group is worthy of a story. Recury 03:22, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and wikify per djrobgordon. References to group in AP and NY Times support notability. Simon12 03:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
