Rossport Solidarity Camp

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is part of a suite of articles involved with the Shell to Sea protest in Mayo, Ireland. It is a paraphrase of the Indymedia articles which have been used as references which themselves in turn have been written by people who have either been in the past or are still currently involved with the Shell to Sea campaign and/or Rossport Solidarity Camp. Indymedia articles are not suitable for referencing under WP:SPS and the fact that they are wrote by people involved with the campaign make them particularly inappropriate in this case. The article is being used for WP:SOAPBOX purposes and has been edited by at least one user with a WP:COI and has POV issues. G ain  Line    ♠  ♥ 14:53, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Despite the problems noted there do appear to be plenty of reliable sources to use: - and that is only recently. The article does need an entire rewrite IMO however as indymedia should not be used as a source. Sorry I don't have time to do anything to improve it. Smartse (talk) 22:01, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete The protest is notable, but not every part of it. I see the articles talk about the protests--but only incidentally about the camp--in some cases, just that the protestors gave it as their address. If we do keep it, reduce sharply. DGG (talk) 22:49, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - completely non-notable. Protest is vaguely notable, this most definitely is not (as is the case with most of this Shell to Sea stuff Wikipedia has been filled with by activists.) Canterbury Tail   talk  12:41, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Putting aside the reliability of Indemedia, a Google search reveals that there are plenty of other sources that give coverage to this camp. http://www.google.com/search?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22rossport%20solidarity%20camp%22&cf=all&sa=N&tab=nw If deleted, is a merge into Rossport a possibility?--Pink Bull (talk) 16:10, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
