mainstream media for failing, or more realistically, intentionally not covering issues, people, organizations who/that stand up to the mainstream establishment narrative. By definition, alternative media are not given the attention or coverage by the kinds of sites that wikipedia notability requirements call for. In that way, wikipedia reinforces what James C. Scott has described in his book, Domination and the Arts of Resistance; Hidden Transcripts, as the and represses and sabotages the message of alternative media. I don't believe this is the intention of the policy and I believe that most wikipedians do not have that intention, but the result of requiring notability to be supported by mainstream media, and some, like thargor orlando appear to be attacking any sources that are not MSM, produces a result so that alternative media are treated as illegitimate-- which exactly what dominating powers would want. I am not accusing anyone of that intention, but it appears to be an unintended consequence that would bear close consideration so the "side-effect" can be avoided. Even attacking the content management system for not being as polished as a massive media site seems to be an ad hominem way to attack the organization. By nature, alternative media may choose not to use mass produced content management systems, like Wordpress, and should not be expected to be able to afford the biggest, most expensive, fancy ones. I apologize if this is an inappropriate place to raise this. And if it is inappropriate, is there a more appropriate place? Knowledge (XXG) is too powerful an entity to unintentionally prevent alternative media from being recognized because of a propensity for trust in top-down institutions.
928:-OEN has published hundreds of podcasts and scores of transcripts of exclusive interviews by OEN Editor-in-Chief Rob Kall, with notable personalities, many with personal Knowledge (XXG) pages. Interviewees include Senators Bernie Sanders, Arlen Spector, Byron Dorgan, Mike Gravel; numerous members of the House of Representatives, including Dennis Kucinich, Robert Wexler and John Conyers; Corporate innovators like Arianna Huffington, Craig Newmark (Craigslist,) Robin Chase (Zipcars); thought leaders, such as Jean Houston, Joseph Nye, Anne Marie Slaughter, Clay Shirky, Douglas Rushkoff; whistleblowers and their allies, including Daniel Ellsberg, Glenn Greenwald, Thomas Drake, Christopher Pyle (Church Committee), and leading scientists, like Frans De Waal. 1405:
neuroscientist John R Moffett) to surreal meanderings like the “Quoth the Pig” series, which uses multimedia and text to ‘express’ the poetic anguish of the much-maligned creature. However, for those who want to hear it straight from the hog’s mouth, satirist Allan Goldstein’s “Swine Flu Hate Speech” is a must-read. He puts himself in the trotters of an indignant pig who proselytises against the “racially” insulting “S word” but with a stoic acceptance of his value in the food chain. “We are being blamed for a virus that has yet to be detected in a single one of our members. Pigs by the million have been slaughtered to no purpose. Good bacon is going to waste.”

statements on various websites. It was about that time that the question of delisting Opednews seemed to raise it's head. I trusted that the wikipedia system would work and that someone or multiple people with bad intentions would not be able to cause a page that had been up for several years to be taken down. I bring this up because you mention that "Strength of opinion." And you are talking about two people. I can't tell if either of the people opposing are among the malcontents from Opednews. To get an idea of what I am talking about, do a google search here: site:OliveBiodiesel.com opednews .
916:-OEN uses a custom-built proprietary content management system with highly advanced functions for multiple levels of editors. It is designed so that all submissions receive notification of acceptance or rejection -- something rare for news websites. The site has many other unique features, including tools to make it easier to find and attribute creative commons images, poll creation, WYSIWYG content submission system that allows writers to submit directly to the site, popularity analysis based on page views, comments, Facebook shares, reader ratings, and more. 684:, including the talk p. I've never understood why I am usually the only one doing this--it seems to me a minimal basis for a rational discussion--otherwise its only the interested parties pro and con who know what is being discussed, not the previously uninvolved outsiders who are needed to resolve the matter. Even if one of the parties has already posted it elsewhere, there's often a elevant history (there is a reason for not making it automatic: there are some blp and copyvio exceptions) 1011:
unusually broad range of coverage to what is going on the world, going beyond the usual political realm into culture, science, business, arts and living. OpEdNews' founder and director, Rob Kall, is a creative, brilliant innovator who I have had the pleasure to interact with on several projects on and off the web. He is a master at bringing together the best people in ways that take the goals of the project to the next level."
931:-OEN, like most progressive news and opinion websites, is critical of much of Israel's policy toward Palestinians. OEN employs strict policies prohibiting anti-Semitism and bigotry of all kinds. OEN is progressive and opposes right-wing, authoritarian policies which undermine human rights. OEN's coverage of Israel is fair, as evidenced by our efforts to publish both Israeli and Palestinian contributors. 539: 545: 934:-OEN receives article submissions that could be considered conspiracy theories, as do other news and opinion web sites. Over the years we have shaped and refined our policies for dealing with such submissions. As a result, OpEdNews maintains a strict policy of not publishing conspiracy theory submissions, described in our FAQ at www.opednews.com/faq. 1213:(XXG) is attractive to those who want to promote their pet project, and we need a simple and drama-free way of dealing with those people. It's not actually an encyclopaedic concept at all (you can bet that the editors of other encyclopaedias don't waste any breath on notability!)----it developed because of Knowledge (XXG)'s openness to anyone. 1217:

But as I feel that our guidelines are generally applied too weakly I don't see this as being anything close to a borderline case. 1404:
An award-winning political blog that refers to itself as the “the drudge report for progressives”, Opednews has a lengthy section devoted to the swine flu pandemic.

From these origins, notability has now mutated into something entirely different. Notability now appears to mean "A worthy subject about which we have decided to permit you to write some content." It's so important to Wiki-culture nowadays, and there are now so many rules about notability (each of

With regards to your point about the policing of notability guidelines, I remain of the opinion that this article isn't helping out our cause. I still feel that, generally, our standards for inclusion of small companies and websites is too lax and that our notability guidelines are our best defense
1233:
But it won't be; Knowledge (XXG) is what it is. Considering the preceding debate and the strength of opinion that's being shown, and considering that we don't have evidence that OpEdNews passes the strict notability criteria as written, I now feel that a separate article isn't the best outcome for

I think the trouble we have with notability is that we've lost sight of its purpose. When I joined this encyclopaedia, notability was a tool for detecting and removing marketing material. At that time it was a necessary rule whose purpose I understood: there are lots of good reasons why Knowledge

He noted that OpEdNews provided in-depth coverage of the swine flu epidemic through "dozens of features". Those features take the form of the "latest news" and "well-considered analyses" and "surreal meanderings". Singh discussed a particular piece by satirist Allan Goldstein whose "Swine Flu Hate

I have to say that this re-opened discussion is both encouraging and discouraging-- encouraging because it is clear there are people working with good faith and good intentions here. But the other side, that's discouraging, is that Opednews is an alternative media site-- we routinely criticize the

Being included in Google News, and recommended by someone I view as the most famous independent politician in the country (Bernie Sanders), are strong indicators of notability.  On the other hand, searching on "OpEdNews" on a Knowledge (XXG) search reveals a bit of a Knowledge (XXG) disaster with

Author Theresa Katalinas discussed how OpEdNews was launched on February 28, 2003. She wrote that in 2007, OpEdNews had 500,000 visitors a month, a total of 7 million hits, "a bare-bones operation" operated in a "small college student apartment turned office in Newtown Township", 4,500 registered

I understand these recommendations in terms of the most recent decision, so I think Thargor Orlando's "endorse" relates to AfD#2 (i.e. he wants the material to remain deleted) and Valoem's "overturn" also relates to AfD#2 (i.e. he wants the material to be un-deleted). Because there are multiple

Arguably, these sources should be disregarded because they all pre-date the AfDs. But I think those AfDs were quite unsatisfactory, being full of sweeping assertions in the emphatic declarative and lacking in close examination of the sources, and I can't see any evidence that these sources were
