Wikipedia:Deletion review/Perennial requests
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of perennial requests on deletion review. Please read this before requesting undeletion of any of these articles. Repeated requests every time some new, tiny snippet appears on the web have a tendency to be counter-productive - it is almost always best to play the waiting game unless you can decisively overcome the issues identified at deletion.
Please be aware that requesting review of a frequently reviewed case without an exhaustive and compelling case, bringing substantial new evidence not seen in previous reviews, may be seen by some as trolling, and, in some cases, may be grounds for an indefinite block.

After 18 AFDs and numerous Deletion Reviews, this article was deleted. The problem was that no published sources have written meaningful information on this group. Eventually it was accepted that writing an accurate, neutral article on this topic was impossible, because everything was being referenced to blogs, forum posts, and other highly unreliable sources. The two most commonly cited legitimate sources are A) an article in The Scotsman, which was probably just summarizing the Wikipedia article and B) The CNN video, which may or may not have actually aired and does not mention GNAA. Consensus has deemed both of these unacceptable.
The article was not deleted because people were offended by the group or their actions on Wikipedia (in fact, fear of censoring them is a major reason the article lasted so long). The article was deleted because it presents an inherent conflict with the core policies of verifiability and neutrality until reliable sources are found. Presenting such sources is the only realistic way to have the article undeleted at this point.
