- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was delete, per WP:V, a foundation-level policy. The article has no independent reliable sources, and indeed none seem to be available immediately through Google. Also, the "tribunal"'s website, not a reliable source in any case, is dead. This means we can't have an article on this subject until appropriate sources turn up. I will provide the deleted content for recreation in that case. Sandstein 16:40, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been tagged since March without any discernible input since then. I am not sure where exactly it falls in terms of attaching WP:Notability criteria though I suspect it falls in Non-commercial organizations. On the face of it it falls foul in that the depth of coverage is not substantial and multiple independent sources have not been (nor looking at ghits can they be) cited to establish notability (particularly having regard to requirement that trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability). There is also the rebuttable presumption of notability as it is an international organization however its coverage is still niche and thus falls down in teh second limb of that criterion, namely information cannot be verified by sources that are reliable and independent of the organization.

- Delete as the article says, it is a mock trial with no jurisdiction. I fail to see any historic notability for this attempt per WP:NOT#NEWS Corpx 04:13, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete + comment The trial itself doesn't seem notable however a line says:
*Special Advisor - Ramsey Clark(International Action Center, US) Perhaps a single sentence mention of Clark's involvement in the mock trial could be mentioned in his article if this is true and can be sourced.
- Weak keep if only so that we may distinguish it from legitimate and duly seated international tribunals. This received a smattering of attention at the time it was held, most of it from, ahem, fellow travelers with sympathetic views but also some from critics, so a reasonable article could be constructed. --Dhartung | Talk 07:10, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep what Dhartung said. A subject like this needs Wikipedia to have a factual, neutral account of it available, as most other mentions of it will be quite likely partisan or attempting to muddy waters.--Martin Wisse 14:42, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
