Soy de Burque

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

An underground movement in Albuquerque written up by user:Soydeburque. Is it notable? (The Q (Albuquerque) by the same author could probably become a redirect because is duplicated in the Albuquerque article.) &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 00:50, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:COATRACK, created by an SPA with the same name as the article title... I love the smell of WP:SPAM in the morning. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * LeaveI recognize my user name may question WP:COI. I think it is an important issue in Albuquerque. I picked the user name "Soy de Burque" simply because it means "I am from Burque" and I am just that...a concerned resident from Albuquerque. The organization "Soy de Burque" simply motivated me to do my part to raise awareness for the rapidly spreading urban sprawl in Albuquerque. I believe the organization is viable as noted by the news coverage it has received which is documented in the article. This is the first article I've tried to add, and though it may be biased because I don't want to see the greenwashing or urban sprawl, these topics have been reported by viable sources in the media. As noted in the article, the documentation sites the Albuquerque Journal and KOBTV news, both very notable sources within Albuquerque. I am open to suggestions as to how I can better shape the article, but I think "Soy de Burque" is a viable organization, not just in the realm of Albuquerque politics, but also as a community organization attempting to raise awareness which could inspire similar movements. Had I know the user name would be an issue, I would have chosen something different. Again, this is the first article I've written and I'm open to suggestions to better improve the article. Thanks.Soydeburque —Preceding comment was added at 05:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
