- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellany page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result of the debate was delete. I would have userfied it if not for the fact that its creator has been permablocked. (Radiant) 09:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Talk:September 11, 2001 attacks/NPOV-rewrite1
This is a copy and paste from the September 11, 2001 attacks article which was created by those who failed to gain concensus for their changes in the main article and is therefore a POV fork.--MONGO 19:42, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Strong keep The debate isn't over, neither side has concensus, and this page is to create a proposed version that's less POV, not a POV fork. Right now an RFM has ben filed but I'm wondering if it will go through, especially due to past comments by mongo, like saying mediation won't help fix the article.--Acebrock 19:45, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. This appears to be a work in progress. Zetawoof 20:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep This is in the talk namespace and the need for this page arose from a small, but tenacious group of disruptive editors and administrators who refuse to allow the majority of editors to add any balance to the article. This page allows the majority of dissenting editors a place to discuss and draft a version of the article that conforms with Misplaced Pages's NPOV policy wihtout the disruptions from these editors. --Cplot 20:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Cplot has been blocked for two 3RR violations on the September 11, 2001 attacks article in less than three days, and had made three reverts to the related Steven E. Jones article and was only saved from probably going over 3RR on that article by my protection of the page on his preferred version. If you can't POV push conspiracy theory nonsense into regular article space, you don't go and try and work on a rewrite outside of that article. The conspiracy theories have an article at 9/11 conspiracy theories and there is a short summary of their nonsense and a link to that article from the main article. You're most definitely not in the majority.--MONGO 21:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Mongo, you know full well that the disciplinary actions taken against me are part of a vindictive approach, by a small group of relentless editors, to punish editors they disagree with.
