Europenews

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No evidence this site passes WP:WEB. This is just an advocacy site masquerading as a news source. The fact that "Islam Q&A" is their main theme of (Breivik-style) "news" should be unsettling. See for a sample piece of news from them. No independent coverage given in reliable sources. ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 23:48, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - Per nom. Also no coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. -- Joaquin008  ( talk ) 17:18, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not seeing significant coverage in reliable sources - passing mentions, no more. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 22:30, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * They get an occasional citation for stuff translated from Nordic languages, e.g. was cited in . But that is an English summary of a JP article, with an activism link at the bottom of the English version “ Boycott Durban II ”. News sources aren't usually this obviously advocating a position. I wasn't able to find even a one sentence independent coverage about the site's nature and contents focus. ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 14:33, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * In this instance, whether they are a reliable source or not isn't the issue (though they certainly aren't); it's just that a citation or a brief mention does not constitute the significant coverage necessary for a WEB or GNG pass. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 22:25, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
