 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   Delete  - I'm going to delete this piece of content. It may be a hoax, and it contains no references. Additionally, not enough information has really emerged for commentary, and we aren't a crystal ball. Creation may later be justified, but we'll see. &mdash; Anonymous Dissident  Talk 08:06, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

GEOINT Online

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Possible hoax/phishing attack; WHOIS results indicate a private/anonymous registration, strange for a government agency. Mr. Vernon (talk) 03:20, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment. Probably not phishing. Go to the NGA website www.nga.mil, click GEOINT Online (at the top of the page), and you'll see that the link "Request an account" is to the domain geoint-online.net. In fact, the first part of the second paragraph of the article is directly copied from that page. I don't know what to do about the actual article, though. --N Shar (talk · contribs) 00:07, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete The article doesn't provide any references or external links. However, that is certainly not a criteria for deletion. By reading the article, it does appear that this may contain information that is somewhat sensitive, or possibly secret/top secret. If classified information pops up in a stub like this one, then it's going to result in an office action, and the idea is to minimize office actions. Any non-sensitive information should be able to be merged into some other article; this does not appear to need its own article at this time. Also note that Earthlink Scam Blocker traces the URL that was removed traces to "Dauphin Telecom" in "French Southern Territories." It traces www.nga.mil to the same provider.

 * Delete This appears to be an internal government project whose naming, existence, etc., is subject to change at any time. In addition, it appears to be at least partially secret, so it will be difficult (if not impossible) to come up with reliable sources independent of the subject (what I've been able to find on Lexis reads like a parroting of internal advertising for the project, occasionally an actual press release -- why secret government agencies issue press releases for projects they intend to keep secret is beyond me). Information about the scale and scope of the project (to determine its notability) will naturally be hard to come by. RayAYang (talk) 05:42, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
