AfD nomination of Jessica Sierra
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Jessica Sierra. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Jessica Sierra. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Fundraising for Wilson article
While I'd agree that actblue is certainly a partisan source, I'm not sure that it's inaccurate when reporting fundraising numbers. I'd also disagree with your assessment that The Nation is not a reliable source for the same thing. (And having one's actions lead to an opponent doubling or tripling his contributions is probably signifigant). If the numbers show up in a clearly indisputable source (NYTimes, CNN, etc), I think it would be worth re-adding them. Best, --Bfigura 14:44, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
- There is NO credible evidence, at this time, that the Democratic candidate received any more money last night than Wilson did. I have seen website after website arguing that even if you don't live in SC then you should give $$$ to Wilson for calling Obama a liar--which is the exact opposite of what the Nation and actblue or claiming. Also, Misplaced Pages has a very, very, very clear rule that partisan websites are NOT the correct source to support facts. And finally, when it comes to Congressional funding-raising what one politician raised in one night based upon the one speech or debate is a silly barometer of the race. The the only credible discussion on a supposedly encyclopedic website should be the quarterly or yearly numbers released by the Federal Election Commission. That's what the pros, Cook, Rasmussen, etc., look at and that is the standard that Misplaced Pages should follow, not the next day opinion of a partisan hack source such as the Nation or actblue.--InaMaka (talk) 14:53, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
