Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Template:In the news

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was  speedy close. Templates should be nominated for deletion at WP:TfD, not here. However, the deletion of this template is exceedingly unlikely, because it is a longtime part of the main page and is supported by a longstanding community process. Therefore, rather than just transferring this nomination to TfD, I'm going to leave a note at KoshVorlon's talk page advising him that he should raise any issues at WT:ITN or the village pump.

Template:In the news


Fails Not News. Per the policy itself:
 * 1) Journalism. Wikipedia should not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories. Wikipedia is not a primary source. However, our sister projects Wikisource  and Wikinews  do exactly that, and are intended to be primary sources. Wikipedia does have many encyclopedia articles on topics of historical significance that are currently in the news, and can be updated with recently verified information.

It's nice and all, and it looks great, but policy does not support this, per points 1 and 2 specifically. (Not personal or anything, I listen to news and talk radio or watch some form of the news near constanty ) KoshVorlon  Naluboutes AeriaGloris 16:26, 19 May 2011 (UTC)  KoshVorlon  Naluboutes AeriaGloris 16:26, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
