Darrell Hair

Hello. I'm well aware of the fact that everybody considers him to be "controversial", but under the policies such as WP:NPOV and WP:WEASEL, we are told to not use words like that, but rather, simply describe the incidents that they were involved in, and who complained about it, what the results of the review were, etc. to simply state the Muralitharan incidents, and let the reader come to their own conclusions. The same would apply to the likes of Ranatunga, Murali, Shane Warne, Steve Randell, etc. Nobody says that Osama bin Laden, etc are controversial, even though they are because it is not in line with the encyclopedic protocol. If you are interested in participating WikiProject Cricket is looking out for new members, and a Quiz exists for a spot of fun. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:58, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The geek list

First of all, here's the text of the article:

The Geek List is a colloquial term describing a grouping of technology minds in South Africa. The grouping of journalists, developers and entrepreneurs discuss and act of technology issues. The group was created by Jason Norwood Young about five years ago. Members of the group include well known technology journalists Toby Shapshack, Greg Gordon and others.

As far as I can see, it is a non-notable club or a similar group; articles similar to this one get deleted every day (under the speedy deletion criterion A7 - article making no claim of notability about its subject). The notability guidelines for organizations can be found here; if you believe the group meets the criteria, you should expand the article to show how. Otherwise, it'll be immediately deleted again.
