Recreate Nordan Shat as a redirect

Hi, do you think you could recreate Nordan Shat as a redirect to FaZe Clan. There's some edit history there that I think should be preserved.--Prisencolin (talk) 23:13, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Deletion of Al Giordano

If we apply the same criteria that was used to delete his article, articles such as this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Canova Should also be removed as they are not well known and when doing a Google search, only a link to their Facebook and their website can be found. Google Scholar also finds no major papers he has done. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=tim+canova&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C14&as_sdtp=


As Wikipedia is known for being very unbiased and cracking down on double standards, I expect the Wikipedia staff to usd the same measures against articles like these, as to show that Wikipedia doesn't have political bias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.168.13.143 (talk) 18:49, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete Al Giordano's wiki page?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Giordano N.R. 16:39, 16 May 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nelson Richards (talkcontribs)

It is because he is acting out against the messiah Bernie Sanders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.29.238.146 (talk) 17:29, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reddit circlejerking aside, (https://www.reddit.com/r/enoughsandersspam/comments/4jlxdd/al_giordano_announces_hell_challenge_sanders/ with 83 upvotes, at the moment) I really am curious why this page was deleted as soon as Giordano announced he was running for Sanders' seat.

That's politically motivated if I've ever seen it. Thesqrtminus1(talk) 18:33, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is really too bad; one of the real strengths of wikipedia, as opposed to other sources, is that it enables people like Mr. Giordano, who have had a world of influence outside of many traditional power structures, to have an identity. I'd think that it's worthy of including due to the many reasons listed in the article, including his relationship with Abbie Hoffman, profile in Rolling Stone, influential article during the 2008 election, Supreme Court case with Banamex, relationship to/ with Jeff Buckley, including the song "Sky is a Landfill," and School for Authentic Journalism. --kurt — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.33.2.52 (talk) 20:33, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Petty retribution for Giordano running against Sanders. Obviously politically motivated (given the timing) and completely improper. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Le dragon (talkcontribs) 22:02, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Al Giordano page deletion

I have commented at the Deletion Review PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 13:56, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Al Giordano Page Was Improperly Deleted

The request to delete Mr. Giordano's page was initiated by digital political activists supporting Bernie Sanders. Mr Giordano is a published journalist whose work has appeared in The Nation, the Evergreen Review, The Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Utne Reader, American Journalism Review, and the New Left Review. His commentary has been reported on by Vanity Fair, the Huffington Post, Talking Points Memo, and Salon.

The deletion has no merit. This is a matter of fairness and neutrality. Wikipedia cannot become a tool for political activists to exact petty revenge, and that is what has occurred in this instance. ICHH 16 (talk) 19:20, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I concur, and have asked for a deletion review. Meese (talk) 01:43, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I was unsure how to proceed myself. What are the next steps? This deletion is a ridiculous and childish act of coordinated vandalism that serves to significantly undermine Wikipedia's neutrality, credibility, and reputation for professional conduct. That this could have happened so quickly, with such a small pool of politically-motivated vandals forming a "consensus," reflects very poorly on Wikipedia's review standards. ICHH 16 (talk) 13:42, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can I just point out that I had no political reason for the deletion - I am not an American and had not even heard of this person before I looked at the discussion. See my commnent on the Deletion Review. Thanks PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 13:58, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
