[edit] The Intelligence Summit

The Intelligence Summit (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• Delete. Non-notable conference with no implications for public policy; barely mentioned in media accounts. The page has been up for over a year and is still a stub; the only content is a misleading one-sentence description that describes this highly partisan affair as "neutral." csloat 01:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Article makes no colorable claim of notability. Reliable sources seem not to exist. There has to be a time limit after which we assume no sources can be found, and I think this has reached it. Robert A.West (Talk) 01:28, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete — Very vague, makes no explanation of what the I.S. actually does, and whom it involves. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 02:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. For bordering on no content whatsoever. Spinach Dip 06:18, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete, very little content, no third-party sources, article hardly touched in over a year. JIP | Talk 10:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Search for it on Google and you'll find it is quite well-known. If you're looking for an impartial news story, have a look at this: [1]. It just needs expanding. Black-Velvet 12:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Impartial? From CNS News, which used to be called the Conservative News Service? csloat 20:06, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: My mistake. I have to learn my acronymns. Black-Velvet 04:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
      • Well, it is now called "Cybercast News Service," so it's no longer officially their name,but their partisanship has not changed a bit.-csloat 07:25, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
        • Comment: CNS News is a conservative but well respected news source. FOX News has also covered stories on the Intelligence Summit. [2] It was the Intelligence Summit that finally forced Bush and Negroponte to create DOCEX on the Operation Iraqi Freedom documents. The Intelligence Summit has a new gathering planned for March, 2007 which is just around the corner and will certainly make news again. RonCram 13:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
          • Is there any evidence that the Intelligence summit "finally forced Bush and Negroponte" to create DOCEX? DOCEX was established before the conference as far as I can tell. In either case, it seems this article should be a footnote to the Operation Iraqi Freedom documents page.-csloat 21:02, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable article. Hello32020 21:22, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep The article is a stub at this point. The organization itself is notable, even if the article is short. The article needs work, not deletion. RonCram 13:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Comment - it's been a stub for over a year because there hasn't been much relevant NPOV content to add. There are plenty of terrorism conferences every year; should we include a wikipedia article about each of them? How about this one in Vegas last weekend? The notability of this particular conference seems to hinge entirely on the "saddam tapes" -- I'd say a footnote on the Operation Iraqi Freedom documents page is enough.--csloat 21:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
