[edit] Malingsia

Malingsia (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This was originally in Tagalog and was translated. I wasn't sure if this was an attack page or not; I was concerned about the potential for slander/libel. This might qualify for deletion as a neologism, since there are no references. I thought I'd bring it to AfD and let everyone express their opinion. Accounting4Taste 16:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete unsourced semi-nonsense attack which claims, among other things, that Malaysia bombed Indonesia in order to stimulate tourism (?!) What the hell? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:05, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Are there any sources for this article? (Even the Tagalog original might be worth reviewing.)jonathon 19:50, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, it certainly is an attack page. By the way, the original was not in Tagalog but in Indonesian. Bessel Dekker 01:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Apologies for getting the language wrong; definitely not one of my skills, and I just took a guess. Accounting4Taste 01:41, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
• The main thing is: we seem to be agreed on the undesirability of the text. (The Indonesian original was the same, more or less.) I put an explanation in Indonesian on this user's talk page, so that, hopefully, he will understand what's wrong with it. Best regards, Bessel Dekker 01:48, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

All the saying is true, though. Name one false accuse if you can.

The complete absence of sources implies that it is complete fabrication.jonathon 10:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I have posted an extensive reaction on Talk:Malingsia. There are sources, but many of them are heavily biased. Beside, the article does not describe a phenomenon so much as voicing (quite hostile) opinions. Parts of it could be used elsewhere, as I try to demonstrate on Talk:Malingsia.

The Indonesian wikipedia has no article on the subject. Bessel Dekker 15:12, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia has a policy of neutral Point of View. WP:NPOV. Like it or hate it, that policy mitigates against options that are not verifiable.jonathon 01:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, per WP:OUTCOMES, WP:V, WP:NPOV, and WP:NEO. Beeezarre. Bearian 17:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Are we trying to hide the truth? The terms of Malingsia nowadays is getting popular among Indonesian (you should watch all Indonesian Forum for this). About the terrorist, maybe that is the only thing that we need to edit, because we need a further investigation. I am not happy with the fact that Wiki is trying the truth from the world. Are we hiding the fact that there's a war in Iraq? I dont think so? This is history and we need to preserve it. petualangan —Preceding unsigned comment added by Petualangan (talk • contribs) 02:27, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
