[edit] Article deletion

I notice that the Life Dynamics Inc. article was sumarily deleted without even a "quick delete" notice.

Here are links on Life Dynamics:[1][2][3][4]

Life Dynamics is in the Yahoo Directory of Pro-Life organizations.[5]

Planned Parenthood Federation of America lists Life Dynamics[6] as one of "15 Anti-Choice Organizations" they consider a threat.[7]

They're significant enough for Planned Parenthood to take notice, but somehow beneath the notice of Wikipedia?ChristinaDunigan 16:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] G4 does not apply (August 19)

I removed the {{db-g4}} tag from this article. This refers to speedy delete criteria G4, which says: (underline mine)

Recreation of deleted material. A substantially identical copy, by any title, of a page that was deleted as a result of a discussion in Articles for deletion or another XfD process, unless it was undeleted per the undeletion policy or was recreated in the user space. Before deleting again, the admin should ensure that the material is substantially identical and not merely a new article on the same subject. This clause does not apply if the only prior deletions were speedy or proposed deletions, although in this case, the previous speedy criterion, or other speedy deletion criteria, may apply; when no criterion applies, the recreated page may not be speedied, but may be submitted to Articles for deletion or the appropriate XfD process.

This article has only been deleted under speedy, so G4 does not apply in this situation. This is not a club, a band, or a person, so A7 does not apply.

Nomination for deletion should be taken through the standard WP:AFD process. — ERcheck (talk) 03:16, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Restructure for adding more information

I changed the structure of the page to make it easier to add information about LDI's various projects.

I'd originally done this in the sandbox, but that gets nuked every 12 hours and it just didn't seem like a helpful idea to me. My work gets nuked often enough by people who simply don't like it. I don't need the added pressure of a robot nuking the work automatically. I also couldn't figure out if it just nuked twice a day at certain times regardless of what had been done, or if it nuked sandbox pages if they'd not been tinkered with in the past 12 hours, or if it would allow them to stand if you'd been working on them within the past 12 hours.

Back to LDI. This is a group that has a lot of irons in the fire, with lots of supporters and detractors, and it'll be a major project just to do justice to one LDI activity. Let's work together on this rather than just nuke what we don't like! I'm going to do my best to gather information for a balanced piece but I can't do that if people keep just nuking major chunks. If you think a section is too positive, add information about criticism. If you think a section is too critical, add information about support. Okay?

I'm going to start by going through Life Dynamics' own web site and adding what they have to say about their own projects. I will then do a web search and find what other people and organizations have to say and add that. So please be patient while this is in progress! Please add additional information rather than just going through and nuking things!

If we all work together we can flesh this out into a balanced article.ChristinaDunigan 15:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why is this in the category for unsourced statements?

Everything seems to be pretty thoroughly cited.ChristinaDunigan 23:47, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Because many editors on Wikipedia are very liberal and pro-death and will do anything they can to cause problems for this article. Dwain 22:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

{{Fact}} tags are commonly placed after unsourced information in articles throughout Wikipedia. Using a fact tag on an article automatically places that article in Category:Articles with unsourced statements. This is designed to help users willing to contribute research easily find articles to improve. If you see a fact tag at the end of sentence - it'll appear like ^{[citation needed]} — you might consider adding a source, or else removing the unsourced information until one is found. -Severa (!!!) 10:05, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing unsourced quote

I am removing the following text from this article. As a quote it must be cited, but it has been marked as needing a citation since it was added to this article over a year ago.

This focus on "spies", "sting operations", and infiltrators has led Ron Fitzsimmons of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers to comment, "They just really get off on all this cloak-and-dagger stuff". ^{[citation needed]}
