Internet censorship in Egypt

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Ok, so Egypt blocked Twitter. That is not grounds for an article called "internet censorship in Egypt" that lists only this one block. This page is nonsense. &mdash; Timneu22 &middot; &#32; talk 17:14, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable topic in search of an article. Google search on "Egypt Internet censorship" has 248,000 hits, including numerous reliable sources with information on shut down of websites, arrests of bloggers, etc. Jonathanwallace (talk) 17:21, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * This is, to me, the same as someone creating a list with a single item. That has happened often. This appears to be news. If anything, a single sentence about this belongs on Twitter. There is no indication that there's room for expansion on this topic at this time. &mdash; Timneu22 &middot; &#32; talk 17:24, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge into Internet in Egypt.  Lugnuts  (talk) 18:44, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge not enough to have its own article. I agree with Lugnuts, let's merge it into Internet in Egypt.  D u s t i *poke* 19:27, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment from nom. Agree with merge. I'll do this work and see about A10 speedy. &mdash; Timneu22 &middot; &#32; talk 20:09, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The incident is already mentioned in Internet in Egypt. I'm not sure it's even important enough to mention there, maybe in an article on the riots, etc. that brought on the action. I'm also not sure that blocking and censorship are the same thing. Steve Dufour (talk) 20:36, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
