Fake news

del. original research and antibush propaganda. Mikkalai 23:26, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete content and redirect to Propaganda. Same reasons. If there is anything helpful in this article, it should be added to the propaganda article. BoomHitch 23:34, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. All sources are primary sources using reknowned newspapers articles. The issue is obviously relevant, as Googles gives 420,000 hits to "fake news". The content may be changed at any time by Wikipedians, adding new examples of "fake news" from around the world, from all political parties, wings and schools of thought. The reference to the Bush Administration is merely illustrative and may be dwarfed in the future if Wikipedians are able to add new content. Note that there is also a reference to the Clinton Administration. Paulo Andrade
  • Just to point out to those who didn't check the history here, the above comment signed by Paulo Andrade was posted by 200.167.38.94 (the creator of this article). The article is now more NPOV as you state, 200.167.38.94. Still, it remains to be seen why "fake news" deserves its separate article when we already have one on propaganda (since October 2001).

  • 200.167.38.94 - In fact, I am Paulo Andrade. For some unknown reason my IP address has changed since I logged in for the first time as Paulo Andrade, although I'm still using the same computer. If I log in again with this same name, the system won't accept it. Paulo Andrade
  • Not decided yet, but leaning towards Delete. Thinly-veiled jab at the Bush administration in the middle of what basically amounts to a link farm. (BTW, I'm guessing many of those Google hits for fake news are references to The Daily Show, other satire, or something else completely unrelated. I don't think the Google test can be easily applied to this article.) android↔talk 01:05, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
    • The Daily Show - A search for "The Daily Show" + "fake news" shows 20,000 hits, so if you take this from 420,000, you still have 400,000 hits. Paulo Andrade
  • Undecided This phenomenon seems to be getting some press lately, and seems like a worthy topic for an article. But the current title is awful, and the article mostly just links. Might be better to delete and start from scratch. I would reconsider if really cleaned up. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:06, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a collection of external links. Megan1967 02:10, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
