However, the article its been redirect to is actually pretty awful and should be wiped and started again, but only allowing non-crazy people to edit. I don't know that it should be deleted from history though. The phenomenon of Kennedy conspiracy theories is interesting, so if we were writing about it we'd want to date the outlandish claims of conspiracy theorists and trace when books were published, when movies were made, and suchforth. But the article there now is junk and doesn't try to do this at all, it just presents point/counterpoints, with very little sourcing.
Yep. My non-vote on the AFD:
* Neutral, with a side-order of "ew, this sucks" - it's arguably an encyclopaedic topic, but this version of the article is *batshit* and is arguably not in any way an improvement on a blank edit box. It will need some SERIOUS NPOVing and absolutely hard-arsed referencing to make a good article on this topic at this title. If we know any non-insane JFK assassination experts on the wiki, please get them on the case - if they can at least reasonably commit to making it a good article and keeping the nutters out, that'll make it worth not shooting in disgust - David Gerard 23:25, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
