[edit] The Politicizer

Listing on AfD as article was prodded with reason Assertions of notability are false (26 unique Ghits, 510 altogether), very new (one article so far) and was removed by an editor with the edit summary This page is about a school newspaper and should not be deleted because it is credible. I am listing it here because it is a disputed proposed deletion. As the article doesn't satisfy WP:VERIFY and therefore WP:NOR Information on Wikipedia must be reliable. Facts, viewpoints, theories, and arguments may only be included in articles if they have already been published by reliable and reputable sources. Articles should cite these sources whenever possible. Any unsourced material may be challenged and removed. I am inclined to say delete. —TheJC (Talk • Contribs • Count) 21:54, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment The above two comments were changed to 'Do Not Delete' votes by User:70.23.139.82. I changed them back to the original votes. --ais523 07:26, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The two votes above were changed to keep and strongly keep by User:70.91.21.190. I've reverted the change. Martinp23 16:54, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I am personally familiar with The Politicizer -- it is a satirical paper very much like The Onion. The article appears to have some major unfounded exaggerations. - S. Komae (talk) 16:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I am also personally familiar with the politicizer. It is exaggerated but I think that that fits in with the basic principal of the politicizer.

Delete - Hardly any relevant GHits here. One issue is not enough to establish notability. I see no grounds for keeping. Further, the use of the phrase 'Do not Delete' rather than 'Keep' used by regular editors makes me wonder about the quality of the 'votes'. BlueValour 00:19, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Strong delete. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the nomination and original votes were actually delete votes, based on the history. I've fixed them above. That being said, this is entirely non-notable and unverifiable. And... "Started in the fall of 2005, The Politicizer is a world-renowned, award winning humor publication that works with the publishing company Conde Nast to put out a biannual color magazine." Does that mean they've published all of two issues, maybe three? Sheesh. --Kinu ^t/_c 18:34, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I just noticed that ais523 had fixed all that above, but it was rechanged by our anonymous friend. I've reconciled the edits thus far. --Kinu ^t/_c 18:36, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment just i issue as they say here 'The Politicizers have released a total of one issue so far'. BlueValour 19:14, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
