Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barack Obama media controversy
Disclosure: I've been a regular contributor to the article.) Per nom, this article has become a hopeless coatrack, including barely relevant content about Clinton supporters, speculation about the Clinton campaign and unnamed Republicans, past rivals of Barack in Illinois, and the production values of Katie Couric's video blog. The entire article presents |undue weight: Obama's detractors seek to link American prejudice against Islam to a self-described Christian candidate, and this article, if perhaps well-intentioned, only facilitates that dubious goal. Even use of the word ''madrassa'' in reference to the school carries a loaded political meaning.http://yaleglobal.yale.edu/display.article?id=9324 I've previously argued for an article covering the controversy over journalism ethics and standards, but that topic might not be notable enough in and of itself, and currently the article's scope goes far beyond this anyway. Delete article, but maybe merge ''some'' content with Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008, Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign, 2008, Insight (magazine), SDN Menteng 01, and possibly United_States_journalism_scandals#Obama.27s_schooling:_Fox_News_Channel.2C_CBS_News.2C_Washington_Post_.282007.29|United States journalism scandals, Fox_News_Channel_controversies#Criticism_of_individuals|Fox News Channel controversies, ''The Washington Post'', and other news outlets and personalities, but ''only if'' careful attention is paid to pertinence and proper weighting
