[edit] Squirrel (eavesdropping)

Squirrel (eavesdropping) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

While there are 4 listed sources on van Eck Phreaking (which has it's own article) not a single of these sources use the term "squirrel" anywhere. The entire first paragraph is unsourced (and the second paragraph is a long, seemingly off topic quote). Also, WP:NEO. Andrew c [talk] 13:36, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - the only thing new in this is the term "squirrel", which is unsourced and WP:NEO. JohnCD (talk) 14:55, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. An article that doesn't list sources and one for which sources would be impossible are two different things. Only the latter should be deleted (WP:AFD). In general, only articles that cannot be improved should be nominated for deletion(WP:ATD). After "all attempts to find reliable sources in which article information can be verified have failed" (WP:DP), the article can be nominated. Regarding WP:NEO, I did a Google search for squirrel and "van Eck Phreaking" together. Apparently, the term "squirrel" is already being used as it is in the article.
