[edit] Media representation of Hugo Chávez

This article suffers from exactly the same problem as the recently-deleted Personal life of Hugo Chávez, in that it is not a subject worthy of an article in and of itself; the context of the main article is required to make this information meaningful. Any information here which is not in the main article should be merged, and this article deleted. It looks like all the essential info here is already in the main article anyway.

• Strong keep for the same reasons given below. [1] The Personal Life article was essentially a copy of the short section in the main article. The Media representation daughter article is VERY long, and is succinctly summarized in the main article. If it is deleted, much of that content would have to be moved back into the already too long main article. This is a very different situation than the Personal Life article, which was nothing more than repeated information. We should honor the good faith of the number of editors who have turned their attention to trying to correct the numerous problems in all of the Chavez articles, and not delete a work in progress.

• Keep per User:SandyGeorgia. --Arnzy ^{(whats up?)} 03:31, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge or delete. Should be a subsection within Hugo Chávez, neither enough detail nor enough significance to warrant a separate article. There's nothing wrong with having a long article if it is well structured with headings etc. Paddles 03:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. For the same reasons mentioned above. Let's remember that we're trying to shorten Hugo Chávez. --Enano275 03:57, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep The demands to a) reduce the main Hugo Chavez article and b) eliminate several subsidiary articles are at odds with one another. You can do one, but not both. --Daniel 06:20, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Sandy. THE KING 07:36, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Sandy. —Viriditas | Talk 09:49, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - per what I said in the Personal life of Hugo Chávez AfD discussion. I thought that creating daughter articles instead of having a 100 Kb article was the policy in Wikipedia. Afonso Silva 10:22, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 12:04, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I see no strong reason to delete.--Jusjih 14:24, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, the article focuses on how Chavez is represented by the media and sub-pages of a main article will be good as articles can get very long. If we delete and merge the material back into the main article, then we will be back at square one. --Terence Ong 14:31, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There is no reason to delete this. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 19:43, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Transwikify. I would have agreed with Sandy, if it wasn't an unencylopedic writing beyond of common knowledge (as per Paddles). Suggestion: delete text to some talkpage (Wikisource?), let Chavez be media-crucified few years more, then let the author collect external links for his generalizations. By the way, don't take me for a pro-U.S. POV-pusher :). Best wishes, Ukrained 10:37, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
