Freedom of press in India[edit]

Essay-style, tagged since November, no improvements since then. Lea (talk) 10:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There does seem to be something here about freedom of the press in India, once you get past all the crap about what's in the Declaration of Human Rights and the United States Constitution. You don't have to have a license to write, as this article clearly demonstrates. Mandsford (talk) 12:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, but it's such a mess and nobody seems to be willing to clean it up, as demonstrated by the tag. It's perhaps not even that badly written (looking at the source), but it's completely essay-style. Extracting the useful bits out of it (and encyclopedizing and properly sourcing it) is probably harder than starting an article from scratch. -- Lea (talk) 20:59, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep The first step in cleanup would be just subheading and a cpyedit. Not hopeless ehoguh to delete, regardless ofits orgins as an essay.DGG (talk) 04:09, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If anyone's willing to start a cleanup, sure. As of now, the article has been created in a single edit on Nov 25 2007 and seen no non-maintenance edits since; so I have little hope that anyone might clean it up later. -- Lea (talk) 04:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep cleanup seem to have been started and is looking better. Fosnez (talk) 12:36, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This looks a lot better than it did two days ago, particularly with the removal of the unnecessary intoduction. Mandsford (talk) 12:54, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawn, and thanks to Calliopejen1 for the awesome cleanup! -- Lea (talk) 21:45, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
