Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thefederalist.com
It seems like most of the comments have been about whether this whole deletion discussion has an ulterior motive. I suppose I can't speak for everyone, but as one of the editors who initially voted 'delete' (I changed my vote quickly when a couple sources were found) I would like to assert that I, personally, do not give a crap about the Neil deGrasse Tyson quote allegations, was not aware of them at all before I came here, have never heard of The Federalist, and generally '''do not care''' about this controversy. I find it plausible that other editors are similarly indifferent. People coming here because they've read this: http://thefederalist.com/2014/09/26/wikipedia-is-now-trying-to-eliminate-the-federalists-online-entry/, or something similar to it, have, whether they are experienced Wikipedians or not, been ''canvassed'' into this discussion, and mostly seem to arrive with the view that everyone here is aware of The Federalist and wants to suppress it. The truth is that not everyone lives in the same little world. With that understanding, I have to ask people to '''please restrict their comments to the issue at hand''' which is finding sources that, unlike the vast majority of sources cited above, can be argued to meet the requirements of  and , so that hopefully we can get a consensus after all this, and not a no-consensus which looks like where this is going. Currently this discussion has turned up the following possibly-usable sources: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/01/conservative-media-huffpo-ization-of-the-right-101877.html#.VCgpA81UoZm, http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/04/02/introducing-the-federalist-a-new-web-magazine-f/198721, http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/magazine/physicstoday/news/10.1063/PT.5.8070. That is all, as far as I can see. (I am not counting the Volokh Conspiracy, which is also mentioned above, because I don't think it can qualify as a reliable source, but this is also debatable.) If anyone thinks they can add something new to this list, please let us know
