[edit] Jihadunspun.net

It has been established that Wikipedia is not a web directory; this site does not meet proposed keep criteria. Alex score is very poor Bob 19:03, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Wikipedia:Websites is just a proposal. Alexa shows better score for Jihadunspun.com. Smit 19:21, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Please look at the nominators contribution list: [1]. Further, the site is notable since it has atracted the suspecion of many people, not talking about it being included in Google news. If a Jihad site in Google news is not relevant, then what is? To nominator: Dont think im stupid, i know what you two are up to. --Striver 22:41, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. What has my contribution list got to do with anything? There is only one of me, not two. Jihadunspun.net matches nothing in Google news. --Bob 23:18, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

That claim comes from here [2] I would guess the site being down for a week or so being the cause of not being included among the Google news. --Striver 00:09, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Again, try .com. Smit 01:55, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

hmmm... strange, i cant find anything either... is this a hoax? --Striver 02:37, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

What about this?--Striver 02:41, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

even more.. I have noticed that Google News uses Jihad Unspun as a source for news from Iraq and Afghanistan. Can somebody please explain to me why Jihad Unspun gets to be a Google News site? --Striver 02:50, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Google News proudly features this “news” article from jihadunspun.com, a known pro-terrorist propaganda site... No, instead we start with the fact that Google News was the focus of an article by honestreporting.com on this same pro-terror site back in January. Six months afterward, Google still features the pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic web site as a valued news contributor...There are many sites of questionable veracity to draw news articles from, but in light of the well-documented pro-terrorist background of Jihad Unspun, one might start to question the motives of those at Google News that still consider Jihad Unspun a valid news source.

Delete -- Striver creates a great many new articles -- my count was ten a day, on average. Lately, he has been achieving this figure by creating a new article for every book or website that he references. There are a great many more articles like this one, all of them just as useless (IMHO). Zora 07:02, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

coment so a internet Jihad site, that is higly controversial du to CIA allegaitions and Google news cooperation, not to mention its unsusual layout, is non-notable? --Striver 13:13, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
