Irish Republican News

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Note that this organization is referenced on a site that shares a name with Sinn Fein but is not that political party's actual website. agt x 05:40, 30 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Passes WP:CORPDEPTH as publication is referenced in multiple locations on Wikipedia . Note that site  mentioned above refers to the Sinn Féin movement and newspaper Sinn_Féin_(newspaper) founded in 1905 that gave rise to multiple extant political parties and publications, such as Republican_Sinn_Féin and Official Sinn Féin, now the Workers'_Party_of_Ireland, as well as Sinn_Féin.

 * Delete per WP:V and WP:NPOV. An uncited corporate essay with questionable POV: "... independent publisher of news on the republican struggle for a just, peaceful, and united Ireland. WTF does this even mean? No prejudice to recreation if can done with reliable source. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:10, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Has been edited to pass WP:V and WP:NPOV and to use language more appropriate to an encyclopaedia, and citing information which can be verified easily. Noting that as there is not an objection to the article as such, the discussion on style and content would be better served on the discussion page for the article itself, rather than through the process of deletion and recreation.

 * This doesn't solve the major notability problem. The key reason for deletion is that there are no secondary source mentions of this organization. agt x  15:43, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * In addition, the article still retains a problematic POV, as in "...from the point of view of Irish Republicanism". What the heck is "POV of Irish Republicanism"? No value to the project at this time. K.e.coffman (talk) 16:07, 11 October 2016 (UTC)


 * This comment seems directed at the idea of subjective news. Almost all political news fits into this category, such as Counterpunch, "described as left-wing" according to Wikipedia. Irish Republicanism is a political philosophy dating back over 200 years.  Look it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CrossBorder (talk • contribs)

This is ridiculous. IRN is older than Wikipedia and probably older than you, agtx. There are scores of references on Wikipedia itself and here are some other secondary sources:

 * Delete per WP:DEL7. There are no third party reliable secondary sources to verify the information. We should not keep such articles until reliable secondary sources talk about it. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 19:49, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
