Talk:Interracial personals

message: Per Wikipedia:No original research: Original research (OR) is a term used in Wikipedia to refer to unpublished facts, arguments, concepts, statements, or theories.
This article is full of statements that are not substantiated by its "sources". Of its sources, (a) one is a search engine, (b) one is a blog entry that quotes an off-topic Newsweek article, and (c) one is an article about a lawsuit whose only relevance is that it mentions a "black hole" (sorry for the crude humor).
Please note that I'm not making any comment about the truthfulness of the statements in the article. I'm simply pointing out that the article needs to make use of verifiable, reliable sources.
As a side note, without relevant sources this article doesn't establish the notability of the subject of interracial personal ads. — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 04:44, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Original research

message: This  is what's known as a trivial mention. The site is not the focus of the article, and its mentioned only in passing in a list of many. It does nothing to provide any further insight into the subject or establish notability.--Crossmr 01:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivial mention 

message: Many additional sources have now been quoted to show the relevancy of interracial personal ads versus just online personals. It is a niche category that began because it doesn't fit under standard Interracial personals. One would just list sports. Or combine the NFL and Arena Football in one article just because they are both football. Saying that it doesn't exist on it's own negates it's very being and the fact that this is one of the fastest growing online dating/networking sectors. The whole industry is going to niches to separate themselves from the mass sites. Each niche has it's own rules.
There is a real and relevant trend going on in this country and I can add more sources, but it seems that it now has more sources than 9/10ths of the articles of this size on here. I guess it is left in the hands of you the community to decide if this is relevant news or not. I have respectfully submitted myself. Cibomatto 21:09, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  oops. Should be separate... Added Many sources 

message: I am trying hard to make this relevant, but don't know what other resources are needed. There are more sourecs here than most articles.Cibomatto 19:01, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not going to harp on this any more, but articles about online dating that mention interracial personals in passing aren't really references about interracial personals. Also, I'll start Wikifying the article. — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 22:44, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
