Presidential nominee

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Presidential nominee, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Presidential nominee.

Congratulations

Congratulations on the additional references you found for "The Wire". I spent some time looking for references, and didn't find the ones you found.

I bought a Kindle version for "Prisoner of Guantanamo". An impulse purchase, and possibly my last Kindle purchase. I can understand why Kindle would not allowing selecting and cutting text. But it has no provision for searching either, which I think really sucks.

Their motto should be, "Bringing all the limitations of paper books to electronic books".

P.S. Do you have a general interest in Guantanamo? Geo Swan (talk) 17:20, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the kind words GeoSwan. Although I have an interest in politics-related matters, I was actually just looking for the article on the TV show The Wire when I saw the disambig line, clicked on the publication with curiosity, and saw the AFD nom.

My main motive for getting involved was that sloppy AFD noms really annoy me. Maybe for a garage band -- sure, nominate it without a search for cites in reliable sources. But for a newspaper covering such controversial topic matter? Seems like there should be cites about it from Google Books and News Archives, and maybe Scholar. And searching related topics, like the 241st Mobile Public Affairs, turned up info on the publication also. If IQinn had simply tagged it as needing sources, that would have been enough. But AFD? Come on. DCico (talk) 17:18, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Incidentally, what did you think of the book? I wasn't able to see any real part of the content, other than the few sentences surrounding search results for "The Wire"? (Also, I don't check my talk page that much, so I may not respond for a while, unfortunately.) DCico (talk) 17:24, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
