 * 1) Not missional CowHouse (talk) 12:43, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * 2) Other than documenting some internet drama and spreading his personal information over the internet, what purpose does this article serve?
 * This is a pseudonym, no doxing is going on and I would never do doxing. Dysklyver (talk) 12:59, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * In that case if the article survives this AfD you might want to edit the "Outing" section to reflect that claim. In fact, a good chunk (if not all) of this article could easily be summarized as "far-left British MP George Galloway gets into fight with anonymous Wikipedia user" without losing much in the way of substance. 13:09, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Or we could just zap the article and stick that paragraph in George Galloway, there's no point having a short article. Dysklyver (talk) 14:13, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Merge/redirect

 * 1) The conflict with George Galloway suggests a merge of some or all of the content would be possible with that article. RoninMacbeth (talk) 13:04, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * 2) This site is (probably) here to document politics and conspiracy theories and other related things that occupy the imagination of people. This has occupied the time of a good few important journalists, the Russian media, Wikipedians, and the prominent English politician George Galloway. It even ended up on the BBC several times. I say it's on-topic, or I would not have written the damn thing in the first place. All that said, it's highly debatable if it needs a whole article, summary merging to George Galloway would be fine. Dysklyver (talk) 12:57, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * 3) Worth merging with the Galloway article. I think the referencing here is somewhat sucky though: we should be exceptionally dubious and clear about citations of Russian media sources (e.g., Sputnik & Kremlin Post). That is not currently the case. Bongolian (talk) 18:12, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * 4) The whole article is about Galloway. Merge Benn (talk) 20:52, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * 5) If the person who created the page now thinks it should be merged into the George Galloway one, then it should be merged into the George Galloway one. Spud (talk) 00:21, 19 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for all the feedback, I have summarised a short paragraph into the George Galloway article, minus all the cruft and not using the dubious Russian material. Dysklyver (talk) 09:55, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
