Non-notable political website, sole reference is site itself Soxwon (talk) 06:49, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- A link to this article appears in the Ramsey Clark article. I requested a redirect to this article for searches on "indictbushnow.org" which is a current campaign to indict President Bush for war crimes and violating the Constitution. I donated money to this cause, but had difficulty finding out who these people were.114.161.253.11 (talk) 13:58, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
- I have to question Soxwon's motives for deletion, in light of the information on his user page stating: "I'm a right-wing capitalist, and for the most part conservative." Is this proposed deletion politically motivated?114.161.253.11 (talk) 14:09, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
- So the fact that I'm open about which way I lean makes my opinion questionable? Everyone on here is biased in some way, we all try to work to control it. So in answer to your question, no, it's not, and thanks for WP:AGF. Soxwon (talk) 15:56, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

- Keep. Soxwon is an interesting case; he asks for an assumption of good faith while asking for defacto censorship by deleting this article! This is like slapping someone, and then saying "you have to assume good faith" despite your acts! All the while, he proudly proclaims that he is "conservative" on his page. Guess that explains his interest in removing this page, as well as some of his edits (in my opinion) over at Karl Rove. No doubt the article can be improved and updated, but deleting it removes historical fact from Misplaced Pages. As a precedent-setting test case alone, this is important in the Misplaced Pages world.
To me, this deletion request is as clear-cut a case of agenda-driven editing as I have seen in nearly two years as an editor. Jusdafax (talk) 18:06, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Jusdafax, I've asked you repeatedly to comment on content rather than contributor. What notability can you point to for this article to be kept? A single citation to itself is not grounds for notability and so your accusation of an agenda is empty. Soxwon (talk) 18:53, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- When you edit with a clear agenda, your stated political position is relevant to the discussion. My statement stands. As to the issue of notability, a one minute search found the website's successor listed on Congressman Robert Wexler's MySpace page; Wexler asks readers to sign their petition to indict the former President and members of his administration. I've added it to the article as a reference. You may not like it, but it's a fact, it's notable, and you just want to censor it. There are other places the notability has been established, perhaps you could work on improving the article? Jusdafax (talk) 19:30, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Did you just cite a myspace page? That does NOT meet the requirement for WP:RS or WP:N. I did a couple of G-news searches and came up with nothing, so if you can find anything fine, use it. Soxwon (talk) 19:35, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- It's Congressman Wexler's own page. Not enough? I've added former Attorney General Clark's own statement, with a reference. No good? How about that well-known conservative magazine and website The Weekly Standard? I found these two googling while on the phone. It took all of three minutes, which further contributes to my belief that you are only interested in censoring this notable, historical Misplaced Pages article to meet your agenda. If I'm wrong about you, sorry, but you continue to fail to avoid the appearance of agenda-driven editing.
- Also, please stop leaving messages on my personal page. Here again, you come off as attempting to intimidate. You want to talk to me, do it openly. Jusdafax (talk) 20:33, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Ignoring the violations of WP:CIVL, WP:AGF, and WP:NPA, press releases and the like aren't considered indicators of notability per WP:WEB. As for the The Weekly Standard, it doesn't seem to be taking the site very seriously (hence the statement at the end: And they have Tchotchke! and later calling it an angry petition site) and is even bordering on sarcasm. I contacted you on your talkpage b/c you were making these accusations over multiple forums and contacting you there would be easier. I find the charges of "intimidation" and "censorship" laughable as well. Soxwon (talk) 21:11, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails WP:WEB. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:29, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Delete. "Love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal"... and this article looks to me like nothing more than self-promotion of a fringe organization. Despite the article having been under the radar for 6 years. Baseball Bugs carrots 21:04, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

- Merge - with Ramsey Clark. I found a couple passing mentions in major sources but none of them suggest any notability of the organization apart from its being a brainchild of Clark. I don't think a small collection of passing mentions confers notability, but even if it did there is not enough reliable content to support even a start-class stand-alone article. So best to merge it in with Clark's, without prejudice to whether the editors there see fit to keep it or remove it as a WP:WEIGHT matter. It's probably worth a sentence there, which is about the length of the substantive part of this article (if you cut out all the redundancy and meta-discussion of sources now in the text) Wikidemon (talk) 21:57, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah I'd go with that, as long as the silly stuff (myspace, mocking Weekly Standard) was rmved. Soxwon (talk) 22:03, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Seems like a sentence in the Clark article would be fair, and the current article could redirect to that one - as could the more current name of the organization. Baseball Bugs carrots 22:11, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
