List of domain names seized by DHS

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NLIST. Cites to only one source, essentially copying their list into our article. The source describes itself as a news source, but it's unclear how reliable the source is. The article seems to be a WP:COATRACK (see sentence about Internet censorshiip). Bbb23 (talk) 16:57, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Note. I've censored that sentence. --Lambiam 18:54, 21 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. WP:NLIST is only applicable to people. I would give it a chance to satisfy WP:GNG as it already has one source. --Ifnord (talk) 18:23, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. WP:NLIST ("Note that the guidance in this section is particularly applicable to people but applies to lists in general, not only lists of people.").


 * Comment. The name of the article has been changed to reflect that the 131 domains seized were on one day. Shall we keep lists for each day? Shall we keep a master list of all the names seized and cite sources for all of them?--Bbb23 (talk) 18:40, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unlike what the broad title suggests, these are only the seizures of one specific day, November 25, 2011, just in time before the online shopping wave of Cyber Monday; they are by no means the only domain names seized by Homeland Security, and this specific event has no encyclopedic significance whatsoever. --Lambiam 18:50, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:V – reference is not a reliable source – and also per #8 in WP:NOTDICT. A list of things worth collecting, but not in an encyclopedia. – Pnm (talk) 02:46, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is scope for an article on the seizures, and a list like this could form part of that, but not a standalone list based on this reference. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:21, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
