Ore Month Anniversary of Jean Charles' Murder

Get over it. Dan100 11:09, August 22, 2005

i agree it isn't a real news story, but i think your remark / reason for deletion isn't very wise either Dan100. 130.89.11.31 11:28, 22 August 2005

I think it could be given time to develop - are there commemorations? 194.74.169.134 12:15, 22 August 2005

Del. Sorry about the death and all, but honoring "anniversaries" of a single-person's death isn't really that honorable. --Mrmiscellanious 15:16, 22 August 2005
Delete Reasons above -- very sad, but marking the date of a death isn't news. I'm certain the ongoing investigation will make the news on its own anyway. --Chiacomo 02:31, 23 August 2005

The article itself isn't bad, it just needs fleshing out. The title, however, was terrible. I changed it. "Murder" is clearly not the right term, most people don't know the victim by name, and the fact that it's the one month anniversary is irrelevant. "Investigation into shooting of Brazilian in London subway" is the new title. StuRat 03:55, 23 August 2005

PETA Celebrates 25th Anniversary

Advert, abandoned, spam? --Mrmiscellanious 04:09, 22 August 2005

Borderline speedy, definitely delete. Dan100 17:15, August 22, 2005
Delete PETA pr spam. It just totally unformatted and screams press release. Delete the fucker and fuck PETA. --TUFKAAP 19:38, 22 August 2005

I agree, delete it, there is no news value there. StuRat 03:58, 23 August 2005

Croatian soccer player Igor Novakovic returns from Russia

Abandoned, no cleanup. --Mrmiscellanious 04:09, 22 August 2005

This author usually does a good job on reporting news from the former Yugoslavia, but was unable to find a source this time. I suppose, under these circumstances, I must reluctantly vote for deletion. StuRat 04:03, 23 August 2005

Iran targets blogs

Abandoned. -- Davodd | Talk 23:30, 18 August 2005

Article seems useful if we can just get better sources and a rewrite so it isn't such a blatant copy of the first source. As for getting a statement from the mullahs to balance the story, good luck. StuRat 04:19, 19 August 2005

US stocks higher by midday

Vague, abandoned, obsolete. -- Davodd | Talk 23:26, 18 August 2005

Not really news to me, unless we add a stock report section. How about if we just "unpublish" it ? StuRat 04:24, 19 August 2005

Rescue of Russian sub a life and death struggle against time

Article is hopelessly jumbled and has been superceded by Russian submarine rescued by Royal Navy. Sorry to let this one get away, but it should be deleted. --Chiacomo 19:41, 7 August 2005

Delete. I know Chiacomo. The story just didn't work out right. -Edbrown05 02:31, 8 August 2005

Nonsense- it is in fact, well organized; and I don't think you're acting in good faith. You don't delete any other older articles, and the sparse and inaccurate Rescue story barely touches the issues. - MH
