IRS-Impersonation Phone Scams

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not really an encyclopaedic topic - more of a news article, perhaps suitable for WikiNews, but not Wikipedia so much. &#124; Naypta✉ opened his mouth at 20:17, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Important historical event/situation that has been ongoing for over a year or more, not news. Notable as it affects over a million civilians. Notable as it affects the integrity and branding of the IRS. Not a news item as primary sources come from the IRS. Significant coverage available from many different sources I have not included. Could easily be improved and expanded by someone who's more expert at library science than I am. Metawizard —Preceding undated comment added 21:34, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 06:13, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: The article needs cleanup (and a move to IRS impersonation scam), but some quick googling suggests there's sufficient and enduring mainstream coverage for inclusion. E.g., , for 2014, 2015, and 2016. Kolbasz (talk) 22:59, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per Kolbasz. Also reported in AARP News. Bearian (talk) 20:27, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
