Gerontas Pastistsios controversy[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No-notable controversy being held at Facebook over a Facebook page that satirizes a Greek monk. I see no coverage from reliable sources to showcase any supported notability, so that this purported "controversy" is worth an article. Thanks. — ΛΧΣ21™ 05:56, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete - Keys words like controversy and feud stand out and this reads more like a gossip page. IF, an only if, in the future the so-called 'theory' holds up and is written about then maybe. At this time, it is more likely a flash in the pan, and more likely not to be notable in a few years. This removes it from the encyclopedic concept.

As the creator of this article, and since this feud (I stand by my terminology) is ongoing, I agree to its deletion, if this doesn't get news coverage from at least one major tv channel, or newspaper within a week. I just want to give it some time, because it only started two days ago, but its fierceness, makes me believe it will last and will get bigger in time. Spartacus Marat

Why not merge to Elder Paisios of Mount Athos? I don't think this meets speedy deletion criteria, but I'm skeptical as to whether it'll meet notability requirements for news events. --Colapeninsula (talk) 17:00, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm I don't consider this notable enough even to be mentioned in another article. It has no reliable sources covering it. Otherwise, i would have recommended a merger instead of deletion. But I understand your point. — ΛΧΣ21™ 17:22, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If we are going to go around giving Wikipedia pages to every person who gets into a Facebook flame war, I want my garage band re-evaluated. The band has a Facebook and a Twitter account with literally tens of followers! :) ---Guy Macon (talk)

Delete — Per nom and per Guy. WP:SENSATION in particular and WP:EVENT in general indicate the coverage here is not of a quality or diversity to establish topical notability in an encyclopedic sense. There's also no indication that the event is of any lasting significance. JFHJr (㊟) 14:49, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Even if there were some news coverage, this would still meet WP:NOTNEWS, and others that are mentioned above. First Light (talk) 20:45, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK delete this. I've seen tons of other more ridiculous articles around, like tv episodes from shows that didn't even get a 1.0 in the Nielsen ratings, but apparently, religious sentiments are affecting the judgements here. I have no objection therefore, and I know that you are going to reference some Wikipedia standards, that not even half the Wikipedia pages match. You can't fight Wiki Hall, even if the blogs I referenced -reputable or not- are talking about this, and are much higher in the Alexa rankings, than all of the newspapers, and their viewers per day are more than twenty times the readers of the major Greek newspapers. Therefore, I delete this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spartacus Marat (talk • contribs) 20:58, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No news coverage, just a non-notable Facebook hoax. -- 202.124.74.198 (talk) 06:18, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- Sounds like a NN joke. It might theoretically be possible to merge a couple of sentences into Elder Paisios of Mount Athos, but even that would probably fall foul of WP:TRIVIA. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:24, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
