The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. There is an article to be written here, but as the Delete votes point out, merely throwing together various controversial incidents is original research. I will userfy this if anyone would like to make an attempt at fixing it. Black Kite (t) (c) 00:18, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Malaysia scandals[edit]

Unsourced original research/POV list of apparent "scandals" (Malaysian national football team?) followed by essay. I have to admit G10 crossed my mind. Mkativerata (talk) 05:21, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not a directory. ~~Bigtop~~ みんな空の下 (トーク) 08:23, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Maintain The name is not appropriate and I have moved it to List of Malaysia scandals. It is also badly compiled and written but as a Malaysian, I know there are truths in them because these events come across to me in newspaper. While the majority certainly come from the book authored by Barry Wain, Huayi has inserted a major portions of references beside this book. Let's wait for him to complete other references. --Ling Kah Jai (talk) 09:39, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We have coverage of scandals in many countries - see Political scandals by country - and so it would not be neutral to exclude Malaysia. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:17, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:03, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is a large number of scandals per country. Reformat the article for standard naming (per the scandal lists) and wikify. Some of the entries may need seperate articles. scope_creep (talk) 19:54, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This list is built by original research - grabbing reliable sources about individual issues and lumping them together into a single topic that is not usually discussed together. We should not use the individual wikipedian's judgement as to what should be included. The sources, when included, often never refer to the incident as a scandal (or one of its synonyms). This is pure OR, and as such should be deleted. Karanacs (talk) 20:00, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
