Contested deletion

[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because...this was an extremely newsworthy event that happened in 1960. I had just started to create this article when it was immediately put up for deletion. --Imaginelenin (talk) 21:13, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Imaginelenin: What else did Kaminsky do? One arrest isn't enough, per WP:BLP1E. —C.Fred (talk) 21:14, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There are several articles similar to this on wikipedia. I just started to write this article. I had posted my first edit, and within two minutes you posted it for deletion. Imaginelenin (talk) 21:21, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
thank you very much for removing the speedy deletion. If we cannot find a place for it on its own, it can go into a larger article on american spies in Russia. Imaginelenin (talk) 21:22, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@C.Fred: There are a whole bunch of news sources c. 1960 that talk about the event, so we could have an article for that, but I don't think it should be one about the person. Possibly Mark Kaminsky and Harvey Bennett, Arrest of Mark Kaminsky and Harvey Bennett or something like that. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:23, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. If there's coverage of the event, it could qualify as notable a lot more easily than an article on the person could. —C.Fred (talk) 21:24, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I have moved it to Arrest of Mark Kaminsky and Harvey Bennett, added a source and taken off the "notability|biographies" tag, as that doesn't really make sense now we're talking about the event. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:37, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You guys are both awesome <3 thank you so much for working tirelessly on wikipedia to make it incredible! Imaginelenin (talk) 21:51, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Northcraft Educational Foundation a spy organization?

[edit]

A lawyer for the Northcraft Educational Foundation refused to name the "groups backers or give the location of its headquarters". Tass had called it a "spy organization". ref name="cia"/> Imaginelenin (talk) 13:19, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
