[edit] Anti-Americanism in the United States

Anti-Americanism in the United States (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is a partisan rant posing as an article. Nothing is said here that is not, or cannot be, said better in the Anti-Americanism article. This is unreferenced as well, which is strange, because there are plenty of sources for Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and Glenn Beck, amongst others, calling people anti-American. Overall, just pointless. Delete and redirect to Anti-Americanism. RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 04:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Pretty clearly original research. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a rant, as it pretty clearly lays out that this is the opinion of some right-wing news media figures. Don't redirect; it's not really talking about Anti-Americanism in general, but specifically referring to a sort of fifth column operating from within the States itself. Then again, from what I've read over at Conservapedia, this fifth column might be operating within Wikipedia. :-) eaolson (talk) 05:03, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to Anti-Americanism, could be a section there if necessary. GregorB (talk) 09:56, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Delete and no redirect. From the intro "Conservative commentators such as Bill O'Reilly believe there is a contingent of anti-Americanism in the United States..." and guess who's in it... Michael Moore, Al Franken, and other anti-Americans. Besides making an article about someone's opinion, I don't believe that Bill O'Reilly has actually accused Moore, or Franken, or others who disagree with him as being "Anti-American". I suspect that the the article's author might have inferred that. But even if O'Reilly has voiced this opinion, civilized people don't label persons on the basis of what a political commentator might say. And I think O'Reilly and Limbaugh and Moore and Franken would be among the first to say that those who disagree with them aren't anti-American. Mandsford (talk) 13:23, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to Anti-Americanism, the article's current subject matter is irrelevant when considering whether a page should be a redirect. Jeodesic (talk) 22:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• So who's going to type in "Anti-Americanism in the United States" or "Anti-Americanism in the United States of America" when they can just type in "Anti-Americanism"? It's a redirect that nobody will actually use. Mandsford (talk) 23:26, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

It's possible that very few people will use it, but that doen't negate the point I was making. Jeodesic (talk) 22:53, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

• Well, doing a redirect (because "redirects are cheap") isn't much different than a reward. Mandsford (talk) 18:31, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
