Wikipedia:When sources conflict

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Request per User:86.23.109.101 at Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion:

This page is a completely redundant fork of Conflicting sources, written by a newcomer who seems to have fundamentally misunderstood the policies they were writing about and who has confused verifiability, truth and the existence of different opinions. The advice given by the essay is a combination of confusing and nonsensical (what does "Verify each source" mean? where would you report sources as inaccurate?) and just flat out wrong ("show every source and use all of them" is not the correct way of dealing with this - you should represent all well reported mainstream views in accordance with due weight, not every source you can find). I see no need to have two essays covering the exact same issue and reaching the exact same conclusion (Write articles according to NPOV) when one of them deviates so far from accepted practices. I propose that this essay should be deleted and it's shortcut retargeted to Conflicting sources. See also the TfD discussion related to it's associated clean up template and this discussion at wikiproject clean up. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 10:57, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete or userify. Should not be in project space as it is an essay under development that does not match accepted practices. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 10:58, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * A redirect to Conflicting sources is also fine. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:24, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete in favour of Conflicting sources. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:15, 19 March 2021 (UTC). Bad advice. A negative contribution entirely inferior to the existing essay. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:31, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Conflicting sources. Zoozaz1 talk  12:13, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - bad advice -- Whpq (talk) 13:20, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - I just resolved a dispute at DRN concerning conflicting sources, and this essay would have made an inedible hash of the case. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:29, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as bad advice, and retarget shortcut as specified in the nomination. —  csc -1 15:08, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
