[edit] Notable_attacks_by_the_LTTE
Per Wikipedia policy, one cannot create a new article about a certain subject that is already treated in an article - Ref: Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view#POV_forks. The list has been added to the main article about the LTTE as it was BEFORE. Supermod 06:19, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep POV forks are prohibited, but this seems to be an attempt to manage the article size, which is encouraged. There's no indication this was done to evade NPOV. I'd suggest the nominator withdraw, as this probably isn't going to go anywhere.
- Also, you replaced the text of the article with the above deletion rationale. It's no big deal and I reverted it so that we could see what we are talking about. I'm assuming it was an accident or something, but please be careful with future AfDs.--Kchase02 T 08:26, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep I am the creator of this article. The purpose was twofold; 1) to reduce the size of the main LTTE article; and 2) to make it more NPOV, not less. Originally, more than a third of the LTTE article consisted of this list. A long, grim list of attacks, even when all true, contributes to an anti-LTTE bias. Moving it a to separate article preserves the information, makes for easier reading, and both articles are more NPOV. Tyronen 04:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep OK, I agree this can be in a separate group. I will remove the deletion tag.
I do not agree with the follwoing comment by Tyronen:
"A long, grim list of attacks, even when all true, contributes to an anti-LTTE bias."
Yes, reporting truth contributes to an anti-LTTE bias. So what is the wrong with it? This is a place to educate the public of truthful information. If LTTE did not use terrorist tacticts, then the list would not be here in the first place. Supermod 03:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
