Sudan Tribune
- Sudan Tribune (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)
While I heartily support anyone with the requisite experiance closing XfDs regardless of their admin-or-lack-therof status, John254 (talk · contribs) made an error in my opinion in this one. Of course, I was the proponent for deletion so I might be biased, however:
- Several clear policy reasons were given for it's deletion,
- The keep arguments not only explicitly invoked WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, they
- Failed utterly to provide sources supporting the article, and finally
- No commentary was provided in the close as to why core policies should be ignored.
I won't repeat the quotes from policy I made in the AfD, go look at them there if you'd like. Short version: While countering systemic bias is a wonderful thing, it is entirely possible for something to be a reliable news source without us being able to verify it is reliable. No sources about something (as opposed to referencing that thing) means no article.
