[edit] 2005 Michelle Bachelet Scandals

If this is the best Chile can do for political scandals, my hat is off to them. (Though I don't think the Allende and Pinochet quotes have anything to do with this subject matter). Zoe 23:18, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete doesn't seem like this incident will have much political resonance. --TheMidnighters 01:45, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Most of this article is fabricated quotes and personal attacks. There would be pretty much nothing left if I removed them. Eliot 15:23, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Anything of lasting note should be put on the entry for Michelle Bachelet. Dottore So 18:22, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Anything of interest should appear in Michelle Bachelet. Sdedeo 22:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Irrelevant. It undermines the quality of Wikipedia. —Cantus…☎ 02:00, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It is obvious this is a great article. Just because it is unusual that in your country these stories are big but here( I live in Santiago) these things are important.I at least agree with Dottoreso
  • Above unsigned comment is the first edit from 200.73.82.173, who went on to vandalize several other pages which 200.55.213.30 (who voted above) also vandalized. Eliot 23:01, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Look, personal attacks will not help this. IPs starting with 200 are quite common in Chile, so your assetions that we are the same people are COMPLETELY FALSE. Your assertion that 200.73.82.173 "went on" to vandalize "several pages" is blatantly FALSE. Anyway, please keep this page for what it was meant to be rather than attacking the character of people who vote Keep. Thank you. 200.119.238.115 22:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. These things are facts that are reported in the newspapers. Maybe it should be heavily edited, but the fact remains: it should be kept. Two major Chilean newspapes, El Mercurio and LAS ULTIMAS NOTICIAS (see talk page for links), have decided to put this in the front page (the latter actually occupied the whole front page with an image of Bachelet). Additionally, this came at the same time Bachelet's daughter suffered a car crush while she was riding drunk, and some analysts believe it could affect her candidacy. In conclusion, this sould be kept but edited. 200.55.213.30 16:57, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I'm sure this merits a separate article, although I agree more should be added to the Bachelet page. I also agree with 200.55.213.30 in the fact that this article should be heavily edited for more encyclopedic quality. 200.119.238.115 20:03, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I've edited the page and am sure it is of more encyclopedic quality now. See for yourself. Chileno de Corazón 20:48, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. The three keep votes up to this point are pretty clearly by the same person, who, it should be noted, created the page in question with several fraudulent quotes and false retellings of events. Eliot 21:13, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. Had you done your homework, you'd see the IP addresses 200.119.238.115, 200.55.213.30, and 200.72.82.242 are completely different. Additionally, I'd like to add I am sorry for any vandalism or other disinformation I may have added to the article. 200.119.238.115 22:16, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
