The result was speedy keep. The nominator doesn't want this deleted, and nor does anybody else. To me, this edit, where an editor nominated the article for speedy deletion on the grounds of it being patent nonsense, which it patently is not, appears to be simple vandalism. And this entire discussion has sprung up out of a good faith followup to a piece of vandalism. Uncle G 12:55, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Khaleej Times
Page was incorrectly speedied; I'm sending it to regular AFD instead as a matter of procedure. Personally, I think it needs NPOV cleanup but shouldn't be deleted outright. --Alan Au 20:44, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep but PLEASE clean this article up. Wildthing61476 20:45, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Strong keep as a notable newspaper (a useful way for those of us with no Arabic to follow events in that part of the world). Needs a cleanup and probably an expansion, but should definitely be kept. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 21:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy keep. The Khaleej Times is the Gulf's most important English-language newspaper. In case anyone wonders whether many people in the Gulf read English papers, let me remind them that a majority of individuals in the most Gulf emirates are South Asian expatriates; the Khaleej Times is thus the largest paper in the Emirates. This debate should be closed immediately. Hornplease 23:31, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
