[edit] Abeed

Abeed (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article appears to be almost entirely original editorial opinion and comment. Would require a complete rewrite to be acceptable. If I thought the problems could be solved by a simple edit I'd just tag the article for improvement. But since I doubt the article can be sufficiently improved to meet policy, delete due to serious issues with WP:OR and WP:NPOV and, if desired, create a new article on the topic at a later date that is objective and not based on OR.

  • Weak Delete - although some references are provided (hence not a case of WP:NEO), I agree with the nominator that the current article is unsalvageably POV and largely fails WP:ATT. Delete unless substantially rewritten and sourced by the end of this AfD. Walton Vivat Regina! 18:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • As can be seen, and as even stated above, all that fixing this article required was ordinary editors to use ordinary editing tools. An administrator hitting a delete button is not required. Uncle G 16:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Well, I think you're selling your work short. It looks like you literally completely rewrote the article from scratch basically. In essence you ended up "deleting" the original article and replacing it with an entirely new one. Thanks for the improvements. :) Dugwiki 18:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Changing to Keep In light of Uncle G's complete rewrite of the article, I'm changing my recommendation to keep. The old article has been entirely replaced with a more objective looking better referenced article on the same topic. Dugwiki 18:04, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
