Jenna Orkin

 * Delete Until it is proven, verifiably and not just with unverifiable claims, that the writer is notable I'll vote delete. User:Striver up to his old antics. With so many of his articles getting majority delete afd's and he be accused so many times by contributing wikipedians about his POV edits isn't it about time he at least get a block from one of the administrators for exhausting the community's patience?

 * Delete. At least part of the article is a possible copyvio, and is part of Striver's ongoing WP:POINT-violating campaign of 9/11 crankcruft. --Aaron 22:49, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article is actually longer than Patrick Moore's article; Dr. Moore is one of the founding members of Greenpeace and is unquestionably more notable than Orkin. Note that Moore's article lists his major (let me repeat: major) accomplishments, rather than every single thing that he has ever done. Isopropyl 23:44, 26 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep' this is in line with the series of bad faith AFD launched agains anyting related to the 9/11 Truth movement:
 * Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/9-11: The Road to Tyranny
 * Articles for deletion/Scholars for 9/11 Truth (second nomination)
 * Articles for deletion/Barrie Zwicker
 * Articles for deletion/Paul Thompson (researcher)
 * you created the preponderance of the articles, and are trying to boost notability by having these articles all link to each other. In other words, a wikibomb. I've attempted to be civil but the latest articles are pushing the envelope. --Mmx1 04:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Note that they are not getting any consensus for delting those previous articles, rather critisim for AFD'ing in in the first place. Previous three voters should be admonished from a admin. --Striver 01:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per remarks above.   dbtfz talk 02:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Although the article claimed that her writing has been published in the New York Times, this isn't even true - she just had a poem printed in the Metropolitan Diary section. Rhobite 02:15, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Source for the statment being false? --Striver 03:52, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I searched the Times archive and found no articles written by her. All I found was the Metropolitan Diary which contained her poem, and an article about 9/11 environmental protests. If you're familiar with the NY Times, you'll know that Metropolitan Diary is composed entirely of submissions from readers, not journalists. Rhobite 04:10, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Same here, I Lexis-Nexised it and turned up zip. --Mmx1 04:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete non notable. JoshuaZ 03:51, 27 February 2006 (UTC) changing to abstain due to the number of google hits.

She definitly has the 5000 people needed in accordance to WP:BIO, and is notable by Wikpedia standards --Striver 03:53, 27 February 2006 (UTC) m sure that more than 5 000 have read the national Indian newspaper, The Hindu. --Striver 04:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Comments I don't see anywhere in WP:BIO where the number 5000 is, did I miss it? Isopropyl, length of other articles is not relevant to whether or not this one should be deleted. That said, I would be willing to change my vote to keep if this article demonstrated her notability, whicc as of now, it does not. It also would need massive clean up (most of what is mentioned here is clearly non-notable). JoshuaZ 04:08, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more --Striver 04:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Im sure that more than 5 000 have read the national Indian newspaper, The Hindu.

And also, you can be sure that more than 5000 watched The Citizens' Commission on 9-11, and that more than 5000 read CounterPunch.

 * Delete Author is attempting to wikibomb "9-11 Bin Laden Conspiracy Theory" --Mmx1 04:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Striver in editing the page deleted a number of other peoples comments. I have taken the liberty of putting them back in and moving his comment to where it makes more sense. Striver, in the future, please do not remove other peoples comments. JoshuaZ 04:39, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh, very sorry, i see it now. A misstake while editing, again, sorry. --Striver 05:10, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

You also managed to remove my edits while fixing the problem: --Striver 05:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable. Sandstein 09:57, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete as nn although comments about "it is shorten than such-and-such who is very notable" are irrelevant (see User:Batmanand/Opinions/AfD]) Batmanand | Talk 14:20, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
