during Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Emory

  • Very Strong Keep--This page epitomizes the flaws of Wikipedia. The first six "delete" posts occurred within a roughly six-hour period on Halloween. The other three on November 2. This appears to be an example of collaboration among members of a network of some kind, not a spontaneous occurrence. Furthermore, the posts are without merit. There is plenty of discussion of Emory--use any of the available search engines, including Google. The posters are suspect as a result. And as far as secondary sources, there have been over the years. We have listened to Dave for years, and we've seen articles about him in various publications, including the San Jose Metro and San Jose Mercury News. There is an audio file on his website recorded in response to an attack on him in a book about conspiracy theorists by Jonathan Vankin, who devoted much of a chapter to Emory. It seems that these are people who don't like Dave and don't believe in free speech. Jayron has pictures of the Austrian crown jewels on his website. Emory has written critically of the House of Hapsburg. Hmmmmm. Addendum to previous comment: There are a number of stations other than WFMU and WCBN that carry Emory's work. He's been featured for more than 20 years on KPFK, the Pacifica station in Los Angeles, as well as KFYI in Kansas City, two stations in the San Francisco Bay Area, KBOO in Portland Oregon and a station in Vancouver, B.C. After almost 30 years on the air, he's attracted quite a large following and a large number of enemies as well. A Lexis/Nexus search for Emory turns up a number of references. And as far as references being critical, well, that comes with the territory and is not a criterion for deletion by Wikipedia. ONE SHOULD NOT FAIL TO NOTE THE NUMBER OF DELETIONS OF FAVORABLE POSTS TO THIS PAGE. Sounds like somebody's playing dirty pool. Wonder who?!
