[edit] Major Media Scandals

Major Media Scandals (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This article appears to be a disparate collection of items of what may be called fraudulent media reports, although none of the terms have been defined. Delete per WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information. Ohconfucius 08:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. MER-C 08:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom - too vague, ultimately a POV list. SkierRMH,08:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and POV issues that would result from deciding what was a major media scandal.- WJBscribe (WJB talk) 12:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete No clear criteria for what is considered "major". —ShadowHalo 12:36, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup and change the name to "False media allegations". I find the article useful, it just needs to be formatted properly. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 19:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Per nom. Article also suffers from POV. No inclusion of FOX, Weakly Standard, etc - F.A.A.F.A. 00:09, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete irreversibly POV --Infrangible 03:55, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Might work as a category with a different name and for well-sourced balanced articles specifically on media reporting scandals. But this version isn't working out as per all above. Bwithh 03:57, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unmaitainable as a fair list. Currently I belive that the "major" used in the title means "fairly recent and that I've heard about reported in US news media". A category with the same sort of content might be useful since it would more transparently reflect the inherent incompleteness. Pascal.Tesson 22:21, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
