Draft:James Corbett (journalist)


A complete joke of a draft: only one reliable source that actually mentions him (in passing in a list of fake news sources), total disconnect from reality when discussing 9/11 and other topics, not just advertising for his media but sheer hagiography. Eliminating all of the conspiracy theorist hogwash leaves nothing to salvage. Ian.thomson (talk) 08:39, 5 December 2016 (UTC)


 * You sure know how to sweet talk guy who's just trying to make an article. RT is a news channel, like it or not, or perhaps you should remove the all of the RT related articles.  And for the record, Jesus Christ, there are a lot of people with JC initials.  Fictional like Jesus Christ and John Connor, and real like James Corbett in Japan and me here in Windsor Ontario.  I don't know how you do it but check the IP thingy.  Also, he's likely too busy to care about Wikipedia articles because he's reporting on geopolitical abuses of power which occasionally gets termed "fringe" or the CIA's vilification term "conspiracy theory" because it drills through the torrent of mainstream media and government propaganda lies.  I can list some if you like.  Now that you've given me some overly harsh criticism I can address the issues and make it better.  The draft should not be deleted, but I admitted at the top of it, that it needs more work.

 * RT news is a propaganda arm of the Russian government and known for spreading pro-Russian and/or anti-Western misinformation. I'm not a checkuser.  Wikipedia is not here for you to advocate conspiracy theories on, and if you can't or won't accept that then you are not welcome here.  Ian.thomson (talk) 09:26, 5 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. A no-hoper. If this puff piece were any more inflated it would explode. --Calton | Talk 14:01, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: Adding more and more of the same primary sources and questionable sources don't achieve notability. I'd !vote delete on this in AfD in a second. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:55, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Easily confused with The Colbert Report, beware. Not sure if it needs to be deleted, or if WP:TNT applies, I think the author needs to read Identifying reliable sources.  The draft is overloaded with unsuitable sourcing.  I think WP:TNT applies.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:30, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Extensive reliance on self-sourced nonsense, with no reliable independent sources to offset that. Guy (Help!) 10:07, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
