Talk:Patrick Syring

message: I created this article and within minutes it was tagged for speedy deletion.  I was actually still putting info into the article when it was tagged, and got an edit conflict when I tried to save it.
I think that if someone is indicted on federal charges of harassing James Zogby and the Arab American Institute, then this deserves to be documented.  This story has been very widely covered. Popkultur 04:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the speedy tag, but it will probably end up going to Afd if nothing else can be said besides "this guy was charged with xxxxx crime, the Associated Press published an article about it". --- RockMFR 04:43, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: deletion debate

message: *Oppose: Not quite why a merger of this article into James Zogby is being proposed. – ukexpat (talk) 21:13, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  This article, in my estimation, falls under WP:OneEvent and is not suitably notable (See WP:Notability). Much of what is in this article should be in a section in the James Zogby article and perhaps also in the Arab American Institute article. Also, see WP:What Wikipedia is not. This individual does not merit his own article, but this incident is worth mentioning in the James Zogby page. ShamWow (talk) 21:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:   Arguments about notability and one event have been rejected in the two previous deletion debates. There's too much here to merge into James Zogby. Dlabtot (talk) 21:54, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I really have a hard time believing that this minor incident merits its own article and beyond that, an article of such length. ShamWow (talk) 01:49, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Additionally, those previous arguments don't apply because they were in regards to a proposed article deletion. This is a different proposal - a merger. It is notable to mention in the articles James Zogby and Arab American Institute, but does not merit its own article. ShamWow (talk) 22:17, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

text: That's not much of a response. Syring wasn't advocating a position as much as just blathering hateful speech. The page should redirect to James Zogby, as he was the recipient of those threats. ShamWow (talk) 22:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge proposal 

message: If any of these particular quotes are that notable, they should be moved to Wikiquote, not plopped into the article. 
WP:LONGQUOTE
*Wikipedia is not a list or repository of loosely associated topics such as quotations.
WP:NOT
*Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics such as (but not limited to) quotations, aphorisms, or persons (real or fictional). If you want to enter lists of quotations, put them into our sister project Wikiquote. 
Based on this, I will remove the quotes. Again. ZHurlihee (talk) 14:18, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  They aren't "loosely associated topics", they are the specific threats that led to his arrest.  You seem to be hung up on the word 'quotations' which really is not the best word choice anyway.  Later when I have more time I will pursue some form of dispute resolution on this. Dlabtot (talk) 15:52, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why not try and propose some alternate text? Seems much easier than WP:DR. ZHurlihee (talk) 16:09, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
