Palestinian refugee: The biggest bluff of the 20th century
Unencyclopedic POV crap --Robojames 17:39, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Luckily, and unlike Wikipedia "policies", in real life, the Jews in Israel (now 4+ millions) can, at least if the rest of the world would not come to the Arab's rescue as it did so many times after they attacked Israel and the wheels of the war turned against them, to sweep the Arabs (now over 100 millions) to the sea.
 * Delete. It would be very difficult, if not impossible to give that article a NPOV without starting the whole article over and renaming the article, so it'd be best to just delete it. MegaSlicer 17:54, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Heavy POV content, not an encyclopedia article. Delete unless completely rewritten. - Mike Rosoft 18:36, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, POV and almost entirely wrong essay. An actual article exists at Palestinian refugee; even in the unlikely event that some scraps of this could be salvaged, they would belong there, not here. - Mustafaa 18:40, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete &mdash; inherantly biased &mdash; RJH 19:53, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete While the whole "Palestinian refugee" issue is masterpeice of Public Relations that has been able to fool most of the people, most of the time. this article isn't the one to explain it. Klonimus 20:23, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as attack page. This really needs to be listed on WP:CSD.  Deletion policy says that pages intended to disrupt (and I'd say this on might be) can be speedied, so I'd suggest a speedy if possible. --Idont Havaname 20:47, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Do NOT Delete This is more a note to the WP administration. IMHO, using a majority vote as a criterion for deletion is quite idiotic. Just imagine if real life would go by similar rules. For example, in 1948, the wish of the 60 million Arabs to "sweep the Jews to the sea" (in the Arab's own language), that is, to sweep the 600 thousands Jews that lived then in Israel would have been easily materialized.

 * Delete. POV. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 21:43, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. By the way, Wikipedia does not use a "majority vote as a criterion for deletion" but rather requires a concensus (a pretty clear majority) for deletion - which this rant gets. -- BD2412 talk 22:47, 2005 May 31 (UTC)
 * Delete - it is rather polite of Robojames to give this article the benefit of a vote. -Acjelen 22:52, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete this crap. Revolución 22:57, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete loony right wing nonsense. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:12, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This should have been speedily deleted.Yuber(talk) 02:21, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Highly POV, therefore probably unsuiitable in its present form. But the argument the author raises, anent the true definition of a refugee, and of whether one can, in fact, be a "refugee" when within your own country, which has now been "occupied", is one which ought to be encyclopaedised.  No vote, but request admins to consider the topic not the treatment.

 * Delete - subjective and inconsistent with the aims of Wikipedia. Cedars 07:34, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - POV title, POV rant. The actual arguments on both sides of the issue can be incorporated into other articles if they are properly sourced. I see no reason for an article with a title this inflammatory. Firebug 07:36, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete POV nonsense/rant/fork. I've had to remove this stuff from the Palestinian refugee article more than once. Jayjg (talk)  09:40, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Just to add my name, not that it is needed. --Irishpunktom\talk 13:21, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete poor title, poor article. Anilocra - (hi!) 14:17, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete POV rant. JamesBurns 09:46, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Even the title is heavily biased.     16:41, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
