I found no independent reliable media sources sufficient to meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. --A. B. (talk) 18:16, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Someone in Canada hijacked an article about a Turkish newspaper
This article started out as an article about a Turkish communist newspaper.[1] At the time, the article's title was Workers Voice.
In December, 2005, anonymous editors in Canada started adding material about the Canadian magazine.[2], eventually deleting any reference to the Turkish paper other than external links.[3]. These IPs trace to St. John's, Newfoundland.
Note that the Turkish publication now has its own article again: Communist Party of Turkey (Workers Voice).
A pretty sorry affair, I'd say.
A week or two ago, I proposed the article for deletion. An anonymous editor in Newfoundland deleted the proposed deletion tag[4] but did not fix the notability problems.
To reduce confusion, Warofdreams moved the content to a new title, Workers Voice (Canada),[5] and changed the earlier Workers Voice page to redirect to Workers' Voice, a disambiguation page for the multiple publications that have carried that name.--A. B. (talk) 19:53, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
