[edit] Embargoed
I originally deleted this page as an expired PROD, but SolDrury contacted me, pointing some relevant links to me. As this essentially makes it a contested prod, I decided to reverse my original decision, and I'm sending it here instead. No !vote. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 20:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. --Sc straker 21:08, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Not to be blunt, but how on Earth does "per nom" work here? I even explicitly bolded "no vote", because I'm just bringing it here as a procedural matter and have no opinion as to whether it should be deleted or not. By the way, here is the revision where he brings the links to me, in case anyone is interested. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 04:52, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete I think it reads like an advert, and is unreferenced. NASCAR Fan24(radio me!) 21:10, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I wrote the orginal article and to declare an interest I am a member of the organisation. In defense of the article Embargoed is part of a campaign both in Cyprus and the UK to ease the suffering of Turkish Cypriots living in Northern Cyprus. Embargoed! is actively engaged in many anti racism initutives, which are important to Turkish Cypriots. For example they held the first conference specifically about how racism effects Turkish & Turkish Cypriots in the UK. Along the way we have picked up broad support from the MEP Baroness Sarah Lunford to the Communication workers union.
I would be very happy to add references to the article if some one will show me how, and would be also happy for someone to edit the article so it sounds less like an advert. I do ask that the article is kept through.
Many thanks

- Comment - I think we had better take this user up on his offer before this proceeds any further and see what information he can produce. matt91486 22:32, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - I've edited the article to include the references SolDrury put on another users talk page and to add in some press coverage I found of the organization's activities. I think this makes for a minor but notable organization and provided the article can be kept neutral, its presence will benefit the encyclopedia. I encourage others to look at the rewritten article to see if it now meets their own standards. -- SiobhanHansa 14:52, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep as notable, reallly verified, and with reliable sources. Some language needs to be softened, but that is easy to do here with a stub. I'll place a rescue tag on it. Bearian'sBooties 19:24, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
