Al Gore's Penguin Army video[edit]

Manufactured controversy, not very notable, or worthy of its own article--RCT 23:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Al Gore controversies Keep. After reading others' arguments, it's clear that it should be kept separate for it is significant enough and serves to illustrate a lot of issues.--Svetovid 01:04, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Notability is significant coverage in reliable sources (see WP:N), something which the article already shows. A merge into Al Gore controversies is a fair idea, but not necessary. --Teggles 04:55, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Notability is plainly obvious as the story was covered in a major newspaper and many websites (see google's results ), merging is not up for a vote here but is also not a good idea as this article is not about Al Gore but about a video allegedly made to discredit him. In other words, it's a controversy about propaganda, Oil Companies, Republicans, and astroturfing who's target is Al Gore, not a controversy about Al Gore. I believe this is a vandalism bad faith deletion nomination & Admins should consider a warning. (see Special:Contributions/RCT) Beakermeep 09:10, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I lost you when I read "vandalism bad faith", but after reading his contributions, it is possible. This man clearly has an agenda. One thing he stated on the Al Gore talk page: "How does anyone take that man seriously?oh that's right, they don't LOL"[1]. His AfD vote history also paints a picture. --Teggles 10:06, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, can't see a reason to delete. Stifle (talk) 21:04, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: A well documented story about a marketing firm deciding to slander a former presidential candidate? Seems fairly notable to me AleBrewer 22:08, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the video is separately notable. John Vandenberg 23:36, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - probably as notable a political video as Dave the Chameleon... Cheers, DWaterson 23:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep via previous arguments; this is notable. Tsunade 00:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
