Fails WP:NOT. More specifically, it may conflict with being a list of facts or events (directory like) that are not valid for inclusion. I look forward to discussion. T.I.M^(Contact) 00:00, 24 November 2012 (UTC)T.I.M^(Contact) 23:58, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge where appropriate, WP:NOT applies here in the sense that this is a collection of (mostly) non-notable one-time events. Sure, a few have been all over the news but by-and-large I don't feel they should all be listed or given attention. I'd userify and ask the original creator to merge information as needed to other articles if they don't already contain the information. This is never going to be anything else than a large list of external links. §FreeRangeFrog 03:11, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or delete "News media phone hacking scandal reference lists" - This article was split from News media phone hacking scandal reference lists due to size. If this article should be deleted per WP:NOT, it should not be added back into News media phone hacking scandal reference lists. Is there any reason why News media phone hacking scandal reference lists is not at WP:AfD?--Jax 0677 (talk) 03:19, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to News International phone hacking scandal. The article covers the "consequences" of the content discussed in that main article. Lord Roem (talk) 00:33, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 04:22, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Again, is there any reason why News media phone hacking scandal reference lists is not at WP:AfD?--Jax 0677 (talk) 17:16, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and discuss merging. It should probably be merged (as suggested above), but the content will simply be lost if deleted. My very best wishes (talk) 03:40, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
