No notability asserted. All 15 references are to one of the same websites listed in the article. Suggest Merge into Alex Jones (radio) and delete. Aaron 06:55, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete No merge necessary. --Tbeatty 07:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Strivercruft. Misuse of Wikipedia for conspiracy theory advocacy.--MONGO 07:18, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and merge anything not already there into Alex Jones (radio). —CWC(talk) 07:52, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge any info not already there into Alex Jones (radio). Outright delete is not proper. --Shortfuse 08:03, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep. Since the sites are Alex Jones's property, and the article is descriptive, I don't see a basis for deletion here. Gazpacho 08:09, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete there is nothing in this article that the reader wouldn't know by simply going to the sites. as such, this article is simply advertising. Derex 09:35, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Alex Jones (radio) and delete. --MaNeMeBasat 10:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge any useful information to Alex Jones (radio), else delete. MER-C 10:44, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Commet It is against the rules to delete after a merge. --Striver 12:03, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, nothing to merge. Sandy 12:58, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Basically spam. No merge. Crockspot 13:29, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak merge I think Alex Jones' websites should be mentioned in the Alex Jones article, but not to the extent they currently exist in Alex Jones' websites. -- tariqabjotu 13:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Tbeatty above Tom Harrison ^Talk 14:30, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge/redirect Into parent. · XP · 15:24, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and Merge content, but no redirect. Namespace is not a significant search term, and most people looking for these will go to Alex Jones first. Redirect is not needed in my opinion, but the pages that were merged into this one will need redirects corrected to Jones anyway to avoid double-redirect.--Rosicrucian 16:14, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom and Rosicrucian. Morton devonshire 19:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• delete, we're not a directory of websites Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 20:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. --Aude (talk contribs as tagcloud) 22:46, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom, Tbeaty, Rosicrucian and Night Gyr or barring that Merge to Alex Jones. If the merger does occur we should do a history merger as well so we don't have the GFDL forcing us to make a redirect (since the search term is unlikely). JoshuaZ 02:22, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per JoshuaZ, if merged, merge history per JoshuaZ. Angus McLellan (Talk) 07:56, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Delete. I don't see any indication that any of these are notable, other than through others of his websites. If there is anything to be merged into Alex Jones (radio), do something to ensure the redirect from this name is lost. I'm not sure a history merge would work; perhaps moving the source of the redirect to something plausible would help. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 01:27, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete no merge necessary, Alex Jones (radio) already gives as much weight as is due to this subject. Guy 10:09, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, or Merge and redirect. — Xiutwel (talk) 23:37, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No notability asserted? Comment the websites are notable. 9790 google hits in the Netherlands alone: http://www.google.nl/search?q=infowars+site%3A.nl You will see there that the website is even mentioned in major Dutch newspapers. /— Xiutwel (talk)

I agree that no notability is asserted in the article. However, it's still appropriate in Alex's own article. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 23:48, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2006 September 25 might give a solution, to merge several of articles into one, allowing for a more encyclopedic article? — Xiutwel (talk) 23:59, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response: I suggest that the article we merge this stuff into should be Alex Jones (radio). Cheers, CWC(talk) 03:20, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into Alex Jones (radio) Mujinga 00:19, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Trim and Merge into Alex Jones (radio).--Jersey Devil 21:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Per above. --Peephole 07:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete not necessary. Rmt2m 21:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• DeleteFail to see the point.--Freddulany 21:44, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• KEEP This sort of thing has been featured on some radio talk shows, such as Jeff Rense's show and on the Coast To Coast AM radio show. Martial Law 00:10, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment A radio talk show host's websites have been mentioned by other radio talk show hosts? How is that notable? Beyond that, Rense is a conspiracy theorist himself and Coast to Coast's own article says that it focuses on conspiracy theory and oddities.--Rosicrucian 14:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge Worth keeping for information. --Nutschig 06:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Delete. Do not merge. Delete with prejudice. ---Charles 17:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
