A fact from World Conference against Racism 2001 appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 1 January 2008.

This page was previously nominated for deletion. Please see prior discussion(s) before considering re-nomination: Keep, August 31 2006, AFD Keep & rename, December 27th 2007, AFD

This might be the first page I ever wrote from scratch. It's just the definition of a term that I couldn't find when I searched Wikipedia. Hope it's okay.

[edit] Articles for Deletion debate

This article survived an Articles for Deletion debate. The discussion can be found here. -Doc 18:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

The article currently reads 'is a term used to describe the attempt to compare'. I'm changing that it is a comparison, not an attempt, whether the comparison is justified or not is, of course, another matter. --Doc 18:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I just revisited this page and noticed all the hackles it raised. I'm glad the entry survived, but I hope it didn't contribute to Doc's departure, as he/she seems like a very valuable wikipedian. tharsaile 20:58, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discoverthenetworks

Why is a link to discover the networks used as opposed to a link to the post? Hipocrite - «Talk» 19:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Probably because the Post article is not available from the Post online? The cite is valid, as it gives the publication and date. I assume this is the only reason you have tagged the section, so I am removing the tag, since the hot link is no longer there. Crockspot 19:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Discoverthenetworks is hosting a copyvio. We do not link to copyvios. Please don't link to copyvios. Thanks. Hipocrite - «Talk» 19:08, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

You have no proof of that, many news sites pay to respost information. I hope you do not persist in slander in your crusade to remove DTN. --NuclearZer0 19:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Steinberg & NGO Monitor

As far as I can tell, it's only Gerald M. Steinberg and his organisation NGO Monitor that use this term. —Ashley Y 04:06, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I have proposed deletion for this reason. —Ashley Y 06:11, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

You didn't look very hard, apparently, as I didn't have to in order to find a perfectly good cite. Andyvphil (talk) 09:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

He may have coined the term? That would be relevant to the article, IMHO. -- Kendrick7^talk 21:54, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely. Andyvphil (talk) 23:54, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

OK. The only sources for "Durban Strategy" are opinion pieces. These can't be considered neutral. I'll put it up for AfD. —Ashley Y 03:12, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Um, it's probably irregular to move an article while it's under AFD? —Ashley Y 05:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea why this got moved either, Durban Strategy is certainly the common name for the event and claiming that it is uncontested because you mentioned it almost 18 months ago in an AfD is hardly a good idea. I'd recommend listing at WP:RM to get a wider consensus, until then, reverting. Narson (talk) 16:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Except I can't because of Uncle G's actions. Wonderful. Narson (talk) 16:51, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Ashley Y, I just signed in for the first time in a long time and got your message that the article was up for deletion again. I put the comment (below) on the debate page which you linked for me, but apparently it's already archived and said "do not edit", so I'll just put it here, FWIW Here it is: tharsaile (talk) 22:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

• commentAs the author of the article & a Hebrew-American who loves Israel, I certainly didn't mean to "allege Israeli apartheid". But, I realize that personal beliefs are not what Wikipedia is about. If you guys really want to delete it, just delete it. If you don't, it'll just be nominated a 3rd time and a 4th, and we editors all have better things to do with our lives, right? tharsaile (talk) 22:21, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NGO Forum Declaration

Does anyone else feel that this section is getting a little into WP:Undue territory with the amount of coverage it gives to criticising the declaration discussion's on the US? I haven't even really looked through the entire declaration, it's so very long but as the early part of this section states, it seems to basically be a something where NGOs have stuck anything and everything which concerns them into it with everything from criticism of classic anti-slavery to the Checnya, Sri Lanka-Tamil Tigers, Roma people and even the treatment of disabled people and GLBT people. It seems to me then that there is probably more criciticism then (for reference, I'm looking at this version [1]) Nil Einne (talk) 15:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
