1953 Fitzgerald Report

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Conspiracy theory article with sourcing only to WP:FRINGE websites. Fails WP:GNG and no WP:RS seem to be available. There is one syndicated column I found, but it seems to be written by a journalist known for... less than truthful reporting. Needs coverage in multiple reliable sources, and it only seems to have coverage in one dubious source and multiple garbage sources. Sailsbystars (talk) 00:03, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. The article has such severe problems with bias and lack of independent sources that I don't think it can be fixed. Besides, the article is self-contradictory, by claiming that the report was published in the Congressional Record yet also "suppressed for the last 53 years". The content of the Congressional Record may be largely ignored (most of it is not exactly fascinating reading), but it is available in numerous libraries. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:09, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete, per reasons above. Personally, I intensely dislike conspiracy theory articles. 069952497aComments and complaintsStuff I've done 22:09, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Kill it with fire. Basically this was a "report" by a senate committee staffer, whose language quoted here indicates it was pure POV rather than evidence-based, and which has been rightly ignored (not suppressed; it's hard to claim suppression when something was actually published by the government) for 60 years. I'm disappointed to learn that this article has been lurking here for five years. Kudos to Sailsbystars for finding it and nominating it. --MelanieN (talk) 17:14, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
