Jew York Times
This article was speedy-deleted back in May. The speedy-delete was opposed and the article recreated. The person recreating the article tried to follow the right practice and immediately created the VfD discussion page. Unfortunately, the page never got posted to a VfD day-page. On 7 July, someone asked on VfD Talk that this discussion be closed because "It's been up for vfd for 2 months now." Not realizing that the discussion was never posted for community discussion, it was incorrectly closed. As a procedural matter, I am re-opening the discussion and posting it to the current day page. The 5 day discussion clock starts now. Rossami (talk) 7 July 2005 21:12 (UTC)


 * Oppose This is an offensive name, but I have described that.EdwinHJ | Talk 00:10, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
 * You created an article, immediately listed it for VfD yourself and then voted against deletion?! Joe D (t) 00:21, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I listed it VfD so it would not be speedy deleted. EdwinHJ | Talk 00:34, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete This article has been listed and speedy deleted before.  Monkeyman 23:51, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete Not notable. For what it's worth the current publisher of the NYT is neither Jewish nor a Zionist, his family which owned the paper in previous generations were anti-zionist Jews. Also, the NYTimes effectively buried reports of the Holocaust because they were afraid of being labeled as "too Jewish" - a discussion of this situation is very interesting and belongs on the main New York Times article, a few sentences on an epithet is not helpful to anybody.

 * Delete soon. Agree with GabrielF, discussion of this should be in the NYT article, not in a seperate article. Ground Zero 7 July 2005 20:24 (UTC)
 * Delete because it's a dictionary definition. Recommend against transwiki because I can find no evidence that it is in common use.  Rossami (talk) 7 July 2005 21:12 (UTC)
 * (comment restored from edit conflict) You did not follow the proper procedure for listing an article for VfD. Please follow the procedure outlined at WP:VFD. --ArmadniGeneral 7 July 2005 21:05 (UTC)

 * 588 Google hits. Not only should it be deleted, but I'm not sure the factoid of this slur is even worth mentioning in New York Times. -- Antaeus Feldspar 8 July 2005 00:25 (UTC)
 * Delete. My guess is that this is just plain wrong...if it's not, then it's certainly not noteworthy.  The slurs (usually though, it's just good-natured ribbing, and often from Jews) I've heard are Jew York City and New York Jewniversity.  Tomer TALK  July 8, 2005 01:27 (UTC)
