Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Spacepol
This article is spam. It has been spammed across several Wikipedias, but has since been removed from many of them. Currently the only non-english article is in Finnish Wikipedia [1], where it is undergoing a vote for deletion (currently 26 votes for deletion, 2 opposes).

- Comment - The Finnish deletion debate referred to may contain unfounded and libelous allegations against third parties and as such be in contravention of US and Finnish law. Additionally, said page contains personal attacks and material which may insinuate dishonest or wrong-doing (including involvement in the editing or deletion process)on the part of the subject of the main article. Criteria applied for deletion appear not be be in keeping with general Wikipedia policies (see Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)). Further, fi:wikipedia appears to have a practice of archiving deletion votes or debates indefinitely without removing possibly offensive material (see Wikipedia:Courtesy_blanking). There has been no administrator intervention to ensure that offensive, speculative and defamatory comments are removed from the Finnish AfD page on this and related articles.--88.114.56.7 04:30, 16 August 2007 (UTC) This template must be substituted.
- Comment - As an administrator for Finnish Wikipedia I checked the Finnish AfD and did not found any unnormal discussion there which could be referred as unfounded or libelous. --Ekeb 05:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe not abnormal for many Finnish fi:wiki users; but definitely libellous, unfounded and
speculative. See the policies noted and the Wikipage for Libel and Slander. Also, AfD pages should be courtesy-blanked if there is no malicious intent. Translation can be provided to Meta in a closed discussion if there is any doubt about the libelous nature of the content. (Check, in particular, the AfD BLP page for the founder of spacepol)--88.114.56.7 06:01, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - Spam and libelous allegations can be fixed. However, I could find no English reliable source material for this topic. If that source material is in Finnish, then it should be at least back by someone vouching for its content as posted on the English Wikipedia. Until then, delete as not meeting WP:N. -- Jreferee (Talk) 05:23, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
