Talk:Media balance

I originally deleted the whole article, but somebody restored it by saying my edit was vandalism. Alright, let see if this is the case.

The article itself is a complete mess. None of the sources whatsoever deal with the main point of the article, that the concept of balance was created by the BBC as a way to promote the Conservative party. None. The citation that was used to cite about the BBC's formation of balance did not appear to refer to the BBC's formation of balance at all, instead talking about the 2003 Iraq War and rallying against it. The article also have an out-of-place quote about American journalism, which is a cool quote, but one that already exist on a separate page, one dedicated to objectivity.

I strongly suspect this article is a flat-out lie, at least until good, reliable sources are found for this article. As there has been none, I strongly nominate its deletion.--70.176.220.156 (talk) 17:30, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

I'll accept that you meant well, but you cannot delete an article (make it inaccessible to anyone except Wikipedia administrators); that requires system administrator privileges, which you do not have. You can only replace the content of the article with "(blank space)". It's the difference between removing a book from the library shelves, and leaving the book on the shelves but with all the words crossed out. DS (talk) 13:12, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

DragonFlySixtySeven...there is an AFD that has resulted in a speedy keep, with a redirect to Objectivity, since there is already a page on this. There is now today, still no redirect, and the keeping of that dumb "balance created by BBC" sentence, with no evidence that this is indeed the case. Those who support this page had 2 whole years to produce this evidence, and yet they didn't. I'm sorry, I'm pushing through the redirect because the consensus of Wikipedia is for redirection.--SilentScope001 (talk) 17:45, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
