[edit] News embargo

News embargo (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This article has significantly improved since I nominated it for deletion, and I would like to withdraw my nomination. Greyfedora 21:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC) This article is not NPOV, is unsourced and bears no resemblance to the term "news embargo" as it is actually used. For example, the assertion that there is a "news embargo" for the Iraq war is based on an article by an interest group from before the Iraq war that uses the word "embargo" as a pun on the economic sanctions then in place against Iraq. I am also not sure there would be much more to write about "news embargoes" beyond their definition. Greyfedora 02:49, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, as it can be cleaned up and made into a good article. Now, for somebody to take the inititive....Sharkface217 03:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • I went ahead and cut the article down to the more traditional meaning of the phrase. Hopefully this is a more acceptable stub, the concept itself seems worthy of being included. The media loves talking about itself so there should be plenty of sources available for expansion. Keep. BCoates 09:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep - Yes, I made the nomination but I'm not sure I can withdraw it. The changes made in the past several hours have made this article much, much better thanks to BCoates and Uncle_G. Greyfedora 19:10, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
