National Report

AfDs for this article:
National Report (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:GNG. Further, currently is just a list of headlines that got picked up by other news agencies thinking they were legit or that others debunked. Only one sentence about the actual website. Page content is not actually about page title. Sources on page do not discuss the website/company itself or its notability. I think National Report is likely notable enough to have its own article, but current article needs WP:NUKEANDPAVE EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 15:26, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agree! Lets delete it!Yup69 (talk) 02:40, 16 October 2014 (UTC) Keep it. Many don't realize it is a satire page and the Wikipedia page for it is the best place to explain that.[reply]

I think it should be kept. The article can be improved, but not deleted. People wanting to know what kind of "newspaper" it is (i.e. not one to take seriously) should know that. So, no deletion, but a complete make-over. My opinion. Jerappelle (talk) 15:58, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There has been no improvement in the article since the beginning of this year. No one is working on it. NUKEANDPAVE. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 17:02, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm against deleting the article. At the very least, people need to know this is a humor site, not a site for actual news. bhumburg — Preceding undated comment added 15:23, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am against deleting it also. I used Wikipedia to verify that the site was satirical. It has reach and is notable.125.237.32.170 (talk) 18:25, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How on earth does this fail GNG? Just look at the list of times it's fooled more reputable news sources, not to mention large portions of the Internet. The Banksy arrest story is trending like mad right now. If you can't load up your Facebook without seeing a prominent mention of the site's current story, it seems pretty notable to me. —Robotech_Master (talk) 19:04, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
